Used leftover scraps of dk and worsted weight yarn to make this toy. Crocheted a tube; then added a cone at top for head. Alternated gray and white colours to get a mottled effect to look like the real Stripey the Hampster. Used cotton mercerized cotton to crochet feet and short legs (make 4). Added a small cone for the snout; and small ovals for the ears. Sew together, leave base open; stuff & sew, before sewing attach eyes. Embroidered nose and mouth using same cotton yarn as legs. Stitch and knot tufts of tan yarn at top for hair and fringe.
