Yarn
You can use any yarn you have for this pattern. I love making it with plush yarns, but it can also be made with thinner yarns to create adorable smaller versions. In the pictures shown, I have made it with Hobbii Honey Bunny yarn.
Other Materials
Crochet hook, size appropriate to chosen yarn (I would recommend one or two sizes smaller than the recommended size on yarn label)
Yarn needle
Polyfill
Stitch markers
Safety eyes (select a size that suits your yarn and project)
*Please note that safety eyes are NOT recommended for children under the age of 3 years.
