( 06 ), black ( 21 ), light yellow
( 16 )
 Crochet hook size 2.2mm
 Safety eyes size 5mm
 Needle for sewing
 Stuffing (Polyfil)

Abbreviations:
 Rnd – Round
 MR- Magic ring
 Sc -Single crochet
 Slst – Slip stitch
 Inc – Single crochet increase
 Dec – Single crochet decrease
 Ch – Chain
 FLO – Front loop only
 BLO – Back loop only
 Hdc – half double crochet
 (…)* – Repeat instruction x time
