Final size of the toy with the indicated materials and tools ~ 9.5cm (3.7 inches).

Materials and tools:

• Any mohair yarn or any fluffy yarn approx. 10 - 15gr of main color.
• Approx. 5 - 10gr of contrast color for the upper part of the tail, the tips of the feet and the contour of the ears.
• Some white for the abdomen and muzzle. I used 1 Kid mohair yarn 100gr / 900mt and 1 Alize Angora Special yarn 100 gr / 550 mt simultaneously. You can use Kid Mohair Yarn, 100gr / 900-1000mt crochet grabbing 3 yarns simultaneously.
• Some white yarn for the eyelids – acrylic or woolen yarn.
• Polymer clay of appropriate color for nose (you will bake it) or some yarn of appropriate color (I used Alize Angora Special yarn 100 gr / 550 mt for a gray squirrel).
• Acrylic glossy varnish for the nose (optionally).
• A strong thread for the sculpting and sewing (for example, a reinforced thread).
• Toy stuffing (hollow fiber or other synthetic fiber).
• Toy eyes of a suitable size approx d. 0.6cm (you can use round beads instead).
• D. ~0.3mm floristic wire ~25 cm length for the tail.
• Size 1.5mm crochet hook. I recommend you to use a smaller hook, than indicated on the yarn, the work should be crocheted tight, so there will be no gaps between the stitches.
• Small sharp scissors with a plain nose to cut (you can use the manicure scissors).
• A long needle for sewing and sculpting, a tapestry needle.
• Velcro tape, a rough metal brush or a slicker brush – to brush the toy.
• A metal comb and a brush for eyelashes or a toothbrush for combing and synthetic thin brush.
• Soft pastel, or art markers to tint the toy, and a palette.
• A black permanent marker and vanishing fabric marker (optionally).
