Materials
Big Twist Petite yarn (100% acrylic, 1.41 oz/40 g, 87 yd/80 m) – 1 skein each in Black (CA), Orange Bright (CB), Slime (CC), and Ivory (CD), or approximately 87 yd (80 m) each in black/dark gray, orange, green, and white/off-white in any medium weight yarn.

US Size E-4/3.5 mm crochet hook, or any size needed to obtain correct gauge.

Locking stitch markers.

Yarn needle.

Fiber filling.

Safety eyes – 4 pairs. I used 3 pairs of 6mm black round eyes and 1 pair of 12mm green cat safety eyes.

Keyring with lobster clasp – 4 sets (similar in style to these).

Gauge
Exact gauge is not critical for this pattern. Stitches should be small so fiber filling doesn’t show.
