Please note that this is not the finished product. This purchase contains a PDF file with instructions (59 pages) on how to crochet this toy. The file will be available for download immediately after purchase (this email might get lost sometimes, so if you do not receive it, please send me a message and I will give you a direct link to download the pattern). All steps are documented by detailed description and step-by-step photos. I also provide a video demonstration, where I will crochet the whole model with you. The video has no narration and is just an extra that might help you if ever get lost in the project.
Prior experience with crocheting is recommended for this project. However, I believe that with enough determination it is perfectly doable by beginners as well. All stitches are explained by provided video tutorials. The pattern has a no-sew design, so it is a great project for those who dislike sewing like me.
If you use the recommended yarn and hook size, the finished toy will be approximately 27 cm tall (10.6 inches). Totally, you will make 2904 stitches and it will take you about 5 hours.
- Chenille yarn (e.g. Himalaya Dolphin Baby). You will need three colors (plus one optional): - Darker gray (80320) - 110 - 130 m (120 - 142 yards). Depending of your crochet style, one ball of the recommended yarn could be enough. I made several versions when I was preparing these instructions and in about half of the cases I had a bit of gray yarn left and half of the time I was about 3 m missing. - Light beige (80342, 80365, Yarn Art Dolce 771, Etrofil Yonca Baby 70703) - 30 - 35 m (33 - 38 yards) - Black (80311) - about 2 m/yards for mouth and nose - Warm green (80349) - optional color for the leaf, about 5 m/yards - Hook size 5 mm (US 8/H, UK 6) - 150g of soft stuffing material (e.g. PES fiber ball stuffing) - White felt for two circles Ø 2 cm - Two black safety eye pins Ø 12 mm - Thin, white string to mark your stitches - Long embroidery needle, scissors
