FINISHED SIZE:

Approximately 28 cm (11 inches) tall using DK/Light 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, black and light brown (see note below)
• Crochet hook
• 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 Dobby I used a 2.75 mm hook with 8ply/DK/Light Worsted Weight acrylic yarn.
