2mm hook
Stylecraft Special DK in Plum and Stone

* Please note that I have used needle felting to create Aipom’s eyes and smile. Needle felting is still quite new to me so I will not be including instructions on how to do this. You may want to look into alternative ways of creating the eyes, mouth, teeth and creating the ears & belly patches.

Aipom is approximately 12cm tall.
