You can use any yarn and crochet hook combination that gives you good tension. Normally this would be a hook at least two sizes smaller than that recommended on the yarn label.
MATERIALS:
- Yarn in flesh, black, yellow and grey (see note below)
- Crochet hook
- Safety eyes (optional, can be embroidered instead – I used black safety eyes and painted them white using correction fluid/whiteout/Tippex)
- Stuffing
You can use any yarn and crochet hook combination that gives you good tension. Normally this would be a hook around two sizes smaller than that recommended on the yarn label. For Batman I used a 3 mm hook with DK/Light Worsted Weight (3) acrylic yarn.
