Started using all 6 yarns and 3.5mm hook, but it was hard work and, as it grew, became more and more unworkable and rigid. Doing the ears was impossible, so I frogged it all and started again with 5 yarns (excl. sparkle cream) and 4mm hook.

Ran out of Amalfi white on R18. The inner was quite stiff and tricky to push down

Feel like it looks more like an owl or bunny - or furbie!!!
