- 9mm Crochet Hook
- Chunky chenille yarn
- Safety Eyes
- Black Yarn (For embroidery)
- White Yarn (For body and embroidery)
- Red Yarn (For Cap)
You can use any yarn + suitably sized hook to make these lil guys, I personally prefer the fluffy chunky look of chenille yarn so I'll be using that. Additionally, you can embroider the mouth before or after you close off the main body.
I tend to do it BEFORE closing off, as you can just thread it in the front were you want the mouth to be, then tie it at the back afterwards, which hides the tail and means it's less likely to come undone.
