MATERIALS AND TOOLS

Vita Coco yarn (100% mercerized cotton; 2400 m/50 g) or any other cotton or microfiber yarn of the following colors:
-pink - the color of the body. I used YarnArt ANGORA RAM (40% mohair, 60% acrylic, 500 m/100 g) color 204
Vita Coco yellow (3863) - to make the pants and suspenders
Vita Coco green (3861) - to make the shirt
Vita Coco, red (3856) - to make the bow-tie (you can also use a ribbon instead)
Vita Coco, white (3851) - to make the socks
Vita Coco, brown (4306) - to make the hooves, shoes and sunhat
Vita Coco, light-brown (3889) - to make the soles.
You only need leftovers of each color yarn. This project can be a perfect way to use leftovers of yarn you have.

To make the eye whites you can use embroidery thread, Iris yarn or Vita Pelican of white color - you need just a leftover of this yarn.
You will also need a leftover of black embroidery thread to make decorative stitches and embroider the muzzle.
A leftover of red embroidery thread to makes stripes on the pants.

TIP: If you need exactly the same yarn you can ask via private message in this shop on Etsy

• 8 mm toy eyes or beads

• transparent glue (if you want to glue the eyes on instead of sewing them on)

• two tiny buttons for suspenders

• three small buttons for the shirt

• 1.0-1.5 mm copper wire - approx. 1 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.

• a piece of plastic card to make the soles of the shoes

• fabric plaster

• stuffing polyester

• strong thread to join the parts of the toy

TOOLS:

• 1.25 mm crochet hook (the size of the hook depends on the yarn you use). 1 mm crochet hook to make the eye whites
• wire cutter
• scissors
• black permanent marker or a ballpoint pen (to draw nostrils instead of embroidering them)
