Designer’s note: feel free to experiment with yarn weights and needle sizes! I’ve made this troll using fingering held double, worsted, and super bulky! Just make sure to choose a needle size that gives you a firm fabric, as you will be stuffing your Troll!

Yardage: 1 ball of worsted weight and 1 ball of accent yarn (for hair)

Other Notions: Safety eyes, tapestry needle, 2 mm crochet hook, stuffing and 1 ball of accent yarn for hair (I used mohair but feel free to experiment).
