Tools and Materials:

1 Skein acrylic weight 4 yarn in emerald green, white and fuchsia yarn. Pink and black thread for embroidery
4mm Crochet hook
Tapestry needle and scissors
Polyester fiber fill stuffing
7.5” squishy ball of any kind/or stuffing. If you use different size yarn you might need a different size ball.
Sewing pins
Stitch marker

Notes:

Pattern is worked in continuous rounds, unless specified otherwise.
Use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to keep track of the last stitch in each round.
When filling with polyester stuffing, pull apart large chunks into smaller chunks and fill sides of piece first and middle last. This ensures an even distribution of firmness within the amigurumi.
