Yarn. | used fine weight cotton and acrylic blend, 160m/50g (174yds/50q);
2.5-3.5 mm crochet hook (US size C/2-E/4) or according to the yarn;
2 black safety amigurumi eyes 6 mm (0.2 inch);
Soft stuffing:
Yarn needle, sewing needle, scissors;
10mm (0.4 inch) bell for a rattle sound.
If you prefer to work continuously, you should use a stitch marker. But if not, you should do slip
stitch in the end of each round.
Note:
You can use this pattern to make larger or smaller toy by using finer or bulkier yarn
Don't forget to choose the right hook size (you can pick crochet hook a size smaller than
suggested on your yarn label, so you'll get more tightly fabric). Also, you may need to adjust
size of the safety eyes.
