You can read a little bit more about the pattern here.

I used Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran for this toy, but you can use any cotton yarn as long as you correspond your hook to the weight of your yarn. For this pattern, I used roughly 50g of Light Caramel (1 skein of yarn), 30g of Sailor Blue (> half a skein of yarn), 30g of Rose Red (> half a skein of yarn), and 15g of Coffee Bean (< half a skein).
