🧶 Materials

For Albert shown, I used Scheepjes Catona 4-ply mercerised cotton yarn:

  • Approximately 9 g Tulip (222)

  • Approximately 6 g Icy Pink (246)

  • Approximately 5 g Shocking Pink (114)

  • Small amount of Jet Black (110)

  • Small amount of Snow White (106)

You'll also need:

  • 2.5 mm crochet hook

  • 12–14 mm safety eyes

  • Darning needle

Scheepjes Catona is a lovely choice for this type of crochet project because the mercerised cotton provides excellent stitch definition. However, you can use any suitable yarn in your favourite colours with the appropriate hook size.
