A cute little Aussie Kangaroo Pattern worked in your choice of crochet cotton or 8 ply yarn, both work up a treat.

The pattern includes:
~ both UK & US terminology
~ stitch drawings & instructions
~ component photos
~ Assembly

Gauge isn’t important, working with a smaller or larger hook will produce a smaller or larger toy. Hook sizes are given for both crochet cotton & 8 ply yarn. Choose what works best for you.

This is a small projects, & so uses small amounts of yarn. Great for stash-busting & no need for rushing off to the craft shop, use what you have. These are quick little projects using simple stitches so, hopefully, even beginners can have a go.

Embroidery thread has been used for eyes & facial features, but use plastic eyes with safety backs if you prefer. However be aware that these toys are then not suitable for young kiddies.
