You can use any yarn and appropriate hook sizing.

This pattern began as someone messaging me on Facebook. They couldn’t find the pattern anywhere and wanted to make it for a friend of theirs that has cancer. I’ve been wanting to write more patterns of my own up and I loved this idea and reasons! Not to mention this is right up my alley….

This is worked in the round as typical for amigurumi. Mine turned out to be about 10″ tall. I choose to make it a little larger and not use wire for the arms and legs. This way it is washable!
