This pattern does not include crochet lessons, so basic crochet skills are required.
Difficulty Level: Easy to Intermediate (you should know how to work in rounds, increase/decrease, and do basic embroidery)
Following my recommendations for materials and tools, the finished toy is approximately 17 cm (6,7 inches) tall.
Note: If your crochet tension differs from mine, the size of your toy may vary.

Recommendations for materials and tools
