The finished product is small enough for little hands to hold and cuddle, and the soft, plush yarn makes it extra cozy.

CROCHET + COMFORT

If you prefer to crochet on your couch or bed watching Netflix, I always provided a Printable PDF option for my patterns. If you prefer to crochet on the go or different locations with out the hassle of a laptop or phone that locks every few seconds. 

I used Pullskein Charity from Elle yarns but you can use any yarn you have on hand, just remember to adjust your hook size if you are not going to use Double knit/ light worsted weight/ Weight 3 yarn for this project. You will only need 60g (139.80 m / 150yards) of the main colour and 20g (46.6m / 50yards) of the second colour. You will also need some black or brown cotton thread for the facial details)
