MATERIALS NEEDED:
- This pattern will work nicely with 100% cotton, 100% acrylic or a blend. I recommend using this weight: Fine Sport #2 = 4 ply OR Light Worsted #3 = DK

I USED:

  • Fine Sport #2 = 4 ply / 55% cotton and 45% acrylic blend
  • 1x ball of grey yarn - YarnArt Jeans – colour 80 - (50g/160m)
  • 1x ball of white yarn - YarnArt Jeans – colour 62 - (50g/160m)
  • polyester fibre fill
  • a long piece of thin black yarn for embroidery

EQUIPMENT NEEDED:

  • crochet hook: I used 2.5mm = B/1, if using different weight of yarn then refer to hook size recommendations on the yarn but go for one size smaller
  • scissors, yarn needle, pins with large heads, stitch marker or thin yarn to use instead
  • 10mm safety eyes
