SLOTH EAR SAVERS

To make the sloth you're going to need three different colours of yarn - white, beige and
brown. I've used DK yarn and a 4mm hook. You can use different weight yarn and the
appropriate hook size but you will end up with a smaller or larger ear saver. It's a great way
to use up and yarn you have left over from other projects as you'll only need a really small
amount.
