FINISHED SIZE:

Without hat, approximately 28 cm (11 inches) tall using DK/Light Worsted Weight yarn and 3 mm crochet.

Without hat, approximately 30 cm (12 inches) tall using worsted weight yarn and 3 mm crochet hook.

Without hat, approximately 20 cm (8 inches) tall using DK/Light Worsted Weight yarn and 2.75 mm crochet hook.

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 8 ply/DK/Light Worsted Weight or appropriate in flesh, black, green, light brown and light grey (see note below)
• Crochet hook (3 mm or 2.75 mm) or appropriate
• Safety eyes 12 mm (optional, can be embroidered instead)
• 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 McGonagall I used a 2.75 mm hook with 8ply/DK acrylic yarn.
