MATERIALS AND TOOLS
--------------------------------------
✓ Yarn
I used “Lotus Travka Stretch” by Kamteks (70% acrylic, 28% polyamide, 2% lycra) that has approximately 80 m in a 50 g skein) in the following colors:
- dark grey (I used approximately one skein);
- light grey (I used approximately half a skein);
- black (I used approximately half a skein);
- white (I used small amount).
Tip: Go to Gauge section to know if you chose the right yarn.
✓ Strong smooth thread (i.e. acrylic yarn) to sew the pieces together if your main yarn is fluffy and you can’t use it to assemble the toy.
✓ Matching crochet hook. I used 3.0 mm crochet hook (US 2 or 3 crochet hook, UK 11 crochet hook).
✓ Stuffing
✓ Brush to brush up the toy (you can use Velcro instead).
✓ Transparent glue.
✓ White felt to make the whites of the eyes (you can needle felt them instead using white wool for felting – instructions are not given).
✓ Two black half beads for the pupils of the eyes (I used 7 mm in diameter).
✓ Black polymer clay to make the nose (instructions are given). You can use a ready-made nose as well (approximately 7-9 mm wide for the toy 15 cm (5.9 inches) tall), crochet it or embroider (instructions are not given).
✓ Varnish (if you are going to make the nose using polymer clay).
✓ Cotter pin to attach the head onto the body (optional) – I used a cotter pin 25 mm long. You can simply sew the head onto the body.
✓ Two discs for a cotter pin joint – I used 20 mm in diameter. You can use plastic or fiberboard discs.
✓ Any material to tint the toy (pencils, dry pastels, oil paints, etc.) – I used oil pastels.
✓ Strong black thread to needle sculpt the muzzle.
