MATERIALS
you will need:
Flesh tone DK – I used Sirdar (10g)
MID YELLOW DK – I used Stylecraft special (30g)
Egg yolk yellow DK – I used Stylecraft special in bluebell (15g)
green scraps of DK for daffodil stems
mustard fur type yarn, this was something that I had in my workbag, think it came from China – any faux fur / eyelash yarn will do. Silver grey, or white would work well also
approx 50cm or dark waste yarn
1 tiny pompom from Poundland
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.
65g approx. of PVC beanbag granules, or, rice – I used recycled beanbag filler purchased from eBay
Dried pot pourri flowers – DO NOT use oils, they will come through, you can use Lenor unstoppables, or similar in any flavour you fancy, or, leave the fragrance out.
3mm knitting needles
2mm needles
1 x 12 inch long pipe cleaner
A row counter is useful, but not 100% necessary
