Materials

Size 4 worsted weight yarn (125g of pink; small amount of white, grey, and beige)
3.5 mm crochet hook ( I use and love these hooks!)
12mm safety eyes
Black crochet/embroidery thread for eyelashes (optional)
Scissors
Tapestry needle (these bent tips work wonders for amigurumi!)
Stuffing
Stitch markers

Abbreviations – US terminology

MC- Magic circle
SC- Single crochet
SC INC- Single crochet increase
INV DEC- Invisible decrease
St(s)- Stitch(es)
Sl st – Slip stitch

Notes
– Slowlystuff as you go, you want it to be firm but not stretched. I recommend stuffing the body before crocheting the neck.
– You will be working in the round; I like to use a stitch marker at the beginning of each round.
– The body and head will be made as one piece. I recommend tight stitches and firm stuffing to help avoid a wobbly neck.
