MATERIALS
Flesh tone DK – I used Sirdar (25g)
Sparkly magenta DK – I used Knitting James Brett Twinkle cs
Lilac / pale pink DK – I used Stylecraft special (15g) CS
Sparkly deep green for the carnation calyx
Fuchsia (white or pink would look good too) fur type yarn, this was something that
I had in my workbag, think it came from China – any faux fur / eyelash yarn will do.
Brown aran yarn for basket – stylecraft special in walnut shade
1 tiny pompom from Poundland
30g of washable toy stuffing;
25cm (about 10 in) diameter circle of muslin; I used a Liz Earle cleanse & polish cloth; an old T-shirt will work fine.
65g approx. of PVC beanbag granules, or, dry rice – I used recycled beanbag filler purchased from eBay
3mm knitting needles
2mm needles
Small 2-2.5mm crochet hook
A row counter is useful, but not 100% necessary
