MATERIALS AND TOOLS

• Main yarn – I used 170 g of brown “Flora” by Knit Style (100% viscose, 240m/100g) and 30 g of grey for the stripes. If you don’t want to make stripes for the body, you will need 200 g of brown color only.
• White yarn for the whites of the eye – see gauge section. I recommend that you use smooth yarn (acrylic, cotton). I used 5 g of white “Nubuk” by Kartopu (22% acrylic, 78% polyamide 550m/100g).
• Black yarn for the nose – see gauge section.
• Pink yarn for the mouth – see gauge section.
  Tip: You can use any yarn (wool, acrylic, etc). The thicker the yarn, the bigger your toy will be. See the gauge section to check if you chose the right yarns.
• Matching crochet hook(s). I used 2 mm crochet hook. However, I had to use 1.75 mm crochet hook for the white yarn to fit the gauge. Make swatches and decide on the hook size.
• Two black beads – I used 7 mm in diameter.
• Stuffing
• Any material for tinting (optional) – I used oil paints.

Knitted sweater (see gauge section)

• any yarn (500-600m in a 100g skein)
• a pair of matching double-pointed knitting needles (2 mm)
• circular knitting needles to knit the collar (2 mm)
