• Black and pink embroidery thread

As with any amigurumi, gauge doesn’t matter. Just make sure the hook is small enough and the yarn thick enough that the stitches don’t have gaps. Size of hook and yarn/thread dictate size. Made with E (3.5 mm) hook and DK yarn, the dog is approximately 2” tall when standing.
