Hi!
Thanks a lot for purchasing this pattern. I made this pillow with Bobbiny Rope Yarn,
available here:
https://shop.bobbiny.com/en/50m/26-black-5902340200094.html
I used a crochet hook size 10mm. The color if this yarn is black
For the eyes, the nose and the whiskers I used Phildar Phil Coton 3 in the colors Blanc
(10) and Berlingot (76). For this yarn I used a crochet hook size 3mm. This yarn is
available here:

You will also need a pair of scissors and a sewing needle to work away yarn ends. As a
filling I used a round pillow size 25cm. If there is too much stuffing in the pillow, just pull
some out. You can shape the pillow a little so the ears are filled with stuffing as well. If you
prefer using fyberfill as a filling, you might want to use a lining as otherwise the filling might
come out. Last but not least: you will need 10mm safety eyes. If you don’t want to use
safety eyes you can use scraps of black yarn for the eyes.
So this is all you need to know to make this pillow. If you are looking for more cute (free)
patterns, please visit my blog (see link below). There are loads of fun (and free) patterns
there, as well as a weekly Link Party every weekend where you can share your projects. I
hope to see you there!
Happy crocheting!
Thanks,

sewing. Don’t close the head yet as you will need to sew the ears.
