MATERIALS AND TOOLS
- Any smooth yarn, which is not very stretchy. Cotton or microfiber yarn is perfect for this project. I use Alize Diva (100% microfiber yarn, 350 m/100 g). This is wonderful yarn with rich color range. It feels like silk. Toys made with this yarn keep shape perfectly. The main colors I use are red (106) and white (55). You will need about half a skein of white color yarn and almost a whole skein of red color yarn.
You will also need Cotton Embroidery floss or Iris yarn or any other cotton yarn to embroider the contours. I use Vita Pelican yarn (100% mercerized cotton, 330 m/50 g) of the black color (3952).

• Stuffing polyester.
• 1.0-1.5 mm copper wire - approx. 4 m. You can buy this wire in a craft shop, but I suggest buying it in an electronic goods store. There you can buy a 31.5 cord. Before buying the cord, make sure that the wire inside it is whole and does not consist of several thin wires. With a paper knife, remove the insulation. The cable inside consists of three copper wire cords, so having bought just a meter of cord you will have three meters of copper wire.
• White fabric plaster or insulation tape.
• Toy eyes or beads or semi beads to make eyes. You will need 2 items. The size of eyes is 12 mm or they can be bigger or smaller depending on the eye sockets. Eye pupils should look like those of a cat or a goat.
• Transparent glue (if you want to glue the eyes on instead of sewing them on).

TOOLS:

• 1.75 mm or 1.5 mm crochet hook. Attention: choose the size of the hooks according to the yarn you use or your manner to crochet.
• Wire cutter.
• Scissors
• Sewing needle.
