This pattern consists of straight and circular knitting, so straight and double-pointed needles are required.
Finished size (after felting and stuffing): approx. 8” tall

You’ll need:
Worsted weight, feltable wool yarn, such as Elann.com Peruvian Highland Wool (different weight yarn will also work, with needle size adjustment) in 2 colors; 2 balls (or
about 125 meters) of the main color are required
Size 6 US (4.0 mm) straight and double-pointed needles
Tapestry needle
Embroidery thread and needle or beads for eyes
Polyfil for stuffing
Standard washer and dryer for felting
