Please read requirements for this class carefully: You may use any worsted weight yarn (#4) that is not too dark and not fuzzy. Our worsted weight acrylic or cotton are a good choice. You can use one color or two colors for accents. A small amount of fiber fill will also be used.
Please bring U.S. size F (3.75mm) crochet hook or other hooks about this size. We will crochet tight stitches to hold in the fiber fill.
You will need a darning needle and scissors to attach the body parts.
Locking stitch markers are a must for this class, they will help us mark and count our rounds, as well as mark where to attach legs, ears, eyes, etc. so please have at least 10 for class.
