MATERIALS AND TOOLS

✓ Crochet hook 1.5 mm, or any other suitable size for the selected yarn

✓ Main yarn. Fluffy or textured yarn (I used one strand (out of four) of “Koala” yarn (600m/100g) together with Kid Royal Alize (62% mohair, 38% polyamide, 250m / 25g) 10 g each)

✓ Additional yarn for the muzzle, horns, and hooves – I used two strands of “Lidia” PS Semenovskaya yarn (50% wool. 50% acrylic, 1613m / 100g) (10g) and one strand for the hooves (5g).

✓ 2 black ready-made eyes or black beads 2mm across and a small piece of white polymer clay for the whites of the eyes. You can use safety eyes 2-3 mm across instead.

✓ Beige polymer clay if you prefer not to crochet the hooves and horns.

✓ Stuffing

✓ Adhesive fabric tape approximately 1 cm wide to work up the wire
