FINISHED SIZE:
Approximately 28 cm (11 inches) tall using DK/Light Worsted Weight yarn and 3 mm crochet hook.
Approximately 30 cm (12 inches) tall using worsted weight yarn and 3 mm crochet hook.
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 in flesh, light blue, blue, white, black and brown (see note below)
- Crochet hook
- Safety eyes 12 mm (optional, can be embroidered instead)
- Stuffing
Note: 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 Jane I used a 2.75 mm hook with 8ply/DK/Light Worsted Weight acrylic yarn.
