MATERIALS

o Bernat velvet yarn, 1 ball of mushroom brown and 1

ball of white
o A small amount of black and white 8ply cotton yarn
o 3.5mm crochet hook
o 12mm safety eyes
o Polyester stuffing
o Yarn needle
o Scissors
o Sewing pins
o Stitch marker

HELPFUL TIPS
I’ve used safety eyes with lashes,
which you can purchase from my Etsy
store.

The velvet yarn can be difficult to work

with as you can’t see your stitches
clearly, the 1st three rows are always
the hardest to see.

I recommend feeling for your stitches

with your hook and counting your
stitches as you work them, it’s much
harder to count your stitches at the
end of the row.

ABBREVIATIONS

ch – chain
sc – single crochet
slst - slip stitch
inc - single crochet increase
dec - single crochet decrease
st – stitch
(#) – number of stitches at the end of the row /
round
