MATERIALS
you will need:

Green fur type yarn, this was something that I had in my workbag, think it came from China – any faux fur / eyelash yarn will do.

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.

3mm knitting needles
2mm needles
Small 2-2.5mm crochet hook
A row counter is useful, but not 100% necessary
