LANGUAGE: English (US) ONLY

MATERIALS AND TOOLS:

  • DK/light worsted yarn in gray, beige, and white for the gray squirrel, rusty red and white for the red squirrel, and brown and ochre for the acorns. I used Rico Creative Ricorumi DK in Mouse Grey (059), Beige (055), Cream (002), and Fox (025), and Scheepjes Catona in Black Coffee (162), and Ginger Gold (383)
  • 2.5mm crochet hook / Size B-1 or C-2, depending on how tightly you crochet
    • Black embroidery floss
    • Fiberfill
    • Stitch marker
    • Yarn needle (preferably with bent tip)
    • Large-eyed sewing needle
    • Sewing pins
    • Scissors

SIZE:
The squirrels will be about 6 cm/2.5” and the acorns 2.5cm/1” short if using the recommended hook size and yarn weight.
If you would like them to be larger or smaller, you can use a different yarn weight and adjust the hook size accordingly.

CONSTRUCTION:
The body is crocheted from bottom to top. The little arms are crocheted on. The ears,head, and tail are sewn on. For the eyes, I used safety eyes and the nose and mouth are embroidered.

Thank you for stopping by! Happy creating!
