Finished Size

Size depends on hook and yarn weight. The following are a guide to sizes; however, you can use any yarn weight as long as you use a hook small enough to give the right tension (at least two sizes smaller than the recommended hook size for that yarn).

• 2.75 mm hook and dk/light worsted weight yarn – 16 cm/6.3 in
• 3.00 mm hook and dk/light worsted weight yarn – 23 cm/9 in
• 3.00 mm hook and worsted weight yarn – 24 cm/9.5 in

Materials

• Yarn in flesh, black, light grey, dark grey, yellow, and red
• Crochet hook
• Safety eyes (can be embroidered)
• Glasses (can be embroidered)
• Stuffing

You can use any yarn and crochet hook combination that gives you good tension. Normally this would be a hook around two sizes smaller than that recommended on the yarn label. For mini Harry, I used a 2.75 mm hook with 8ply/DK/Light Worsted Weight acrylic yarn.
