Materials

• Size 4 chenille yarn in color of your choice (I used a yarn I found at a thrift store, use any yarn you want, adjust hook accordingly )
• Materials to embroider mouth — I used a small amt of embroidery thread
• Fibers for felting eyes or embroider
• Fiberfill
• F hook (or hook you need!)
• Scissors
• Needle (to weave in ends/create features)
• Small amt of cardboard to insert into base of feet
• Pipe cleaners — I folded 3 in half and gently braided for stiffness in neck

Abbreviations

• Sc: single crochet

All terms American. If pattern reads «sc, sc2tog, 2sc» it would be read as, " single crochet, single crochet 2 stitches together, 2 single crochet in the next stitch", directions are to be repeated to end of row/round unless otherwise noted. As with any pattern, be sure to read through once before beginning, and don't forget to mark your rounds! (I use a bit of contrasting yarn)
