This cosy has been created using 2 strands of DK held together.
I also used Sirdar Alpine super chunky for the fur trim and King cole moments for the beard and hat trim.

The eyes are embroidered on. I used Anchor Metallic thread for the embellishments and a selection of acrylic gems and beads.

Each colour of DK used was approx 30g, The fur yarn was 20g.
