Materials:
To bring this adorable creation to life, here’s what you’ll need:

• 100% Cotton yarn in your preferred color (1.75oz/50g in the ballpark of 137yds/125m). We’ve originally used “Vita Cotton Lily”, but “Scheepjes Catona”, or “Alpina Anabel” can work just as well.
• 2mm and 2.5 mm crochet hooks
• A wooden ring about 2-3”/60-70mm in diameter (Beech rings have my wholehearted recommendation)
• A pinch of Fiberfill stuffing
• Optional, yet enjoyable: A rattle insert
• Handy crafting basics: Tapestry needle and scissors
