MATERIALS

➔ Yarn - The pattern is made for DK weight yarn, but being amigurumi, gauge isn’t super important and you can easily switch it out for a different weight. Just make sure all the yarn used is the same weight and it should still work.
  ◆ Colour A: Main body, legs, and antenna colour
  ◆ Colour B: Secondary abdomen colour
➔ 2.75mm crochet hook to keep the stitches nice and tight. Depending on your yarn you may need to go up or down sizes to match.
➔ Stuffing
➔ Sewing pins to keep things in place as you stitch them together (not absolutely necessary, but can help keep things from sliding around)
➔ Marker to keep track of rounds (I use an extra little piece of yarn)
➔ Yarn needle (or smaller if you prefer to attach pieces with thread), scissors, general etc.
➔ 4-8 (may be able to double-up if they’re long enough) 6mm diameter pipe cleaners. Don’t worry if you don’t have any available as there are options for legs and antennae without pipe cleaners.
➔ 14mm safety eyes. This is the size used in the pictures, but feel free to use different sized eyes or even embroider them on.
