Big Tanoshi Squirrel Doll with removable tail. Tail - pencil box, cosmetic bag.

The finished doll is approximately 6,7 inches (17 cm) tall without tail. When tail is down - 13 inches ( 33 cm ).

Materials needed
• 4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. I recommend using needles a size or two smaller than the yarn calls for, to produce a firm fabric. İ used Needles US 6 (4 mm)
• Vanilla colored yarn for head. I used Nako Sport Wool ( 25% Wool, 75% Acrylic; 100gr = 120m ).
• Terracotta colored yarn for dress. I used Nako Sport Wool ( 25% Wool, 75% Acrylic; 100gr = 120m ).
• Black yarn for the hair
• Toy stuffing
• Yarn needle
• Stitch holder
• 2 black buttons for eyes
• 3 buttons for fixing the tail
• Zipper for tail
All time İ am working in the round. This help avoids the ugly seams .
