Materials Needed

I used 2 skeins of Baby Bee’s Sugar Pom Pom yarn in Oh, Sweetums. Each skein is 55 yds. This is a #6 super bulky yarn. I used a 10mm hook, making the cover very quick to create.

For the face, I used (2) 20mm black safety eyes. Then, I opted for #4 worsted weight yarn in pink for the nose and cheeks. I used a 5.0mm hook for the cheeks, ears, and nose.

I also used a tapestry needle for weaving ends and embroidery.
