Materials and tools:
For crocheting a wolf, you can use any yarn according to the composition, but it must be of the same thickness.

For the main yarn, I chose Alize Cotton Gold (100g/330m) and additional YarnArt “Iris” (20g/138m) (for claws and teeth). But you can also divide the main yarn in half.

We will need the following Alize Cotton Gold colors:

  • gray - color 21 - for a wolf - consumption of 1.5 skeins
  • milk - color 62 - for a sheep’s coat - 1 skein
  • beige - color 152 - for sheep’s ears and face - consumption is small
  • white - color 55 - wolf eyes and the tip of the tail - very little
  • black - color 60 - the nose, pupils of the wolf and to design the face of the sheep
  • blue (optional) – color 374 – used for a jacket with pockets – consumption of 1 skein

I used a 1.5mm crochet hook - the main yarn;
hook 1.0 mm for thinner yarn.

You will also need (optional):

  • Plastic joints with a diameter of 1.5 cm (for fastening the lower paws) - can be replaced with thread fastening, but I do not recommend tying the paws, since the wolf will sit only in the transverse twine;
  • a weight in the lower part of the body for the stability of the toy in a sitting position.

To fasten the jacket, you will need 3 more buttons with a diameter of 1 cm.

Well, of course, you will need toy filler, a needle for stitching parts, scissors, pins for preliminary splitting of parts.

The size of my wolf turned out to be about 34 cm, and the length of its muzzle - about 20 cm.
