Difficulty Level: Easy
Materials needed to create a 5.5 in (14cm) tall toy:
- Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran in Banana Cream, Mustard Yellow, Duck Egg Blue, Sailor Blue, Coffee Bean, and Champagne White
- 3.5mm Crochet Hook
- 6mm Safety Eyes and Matching Backings
- Scissors
- Darning Needle
- Locking Stitch Markers (Optional)
- Pins
- Polyfil Stuffing or Scrap Yarn
- Grey or Black Embroidery Thread
- Fabric Glue (This is optional, but I use it to glue down the exposed tail ends from the satchel strap and envelope)
I used Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran to create my Postal Worker Puppy, but you can use any cotton yarn as long as you correspond your hook to the weight of your yarn.
For this pattern, I used roughly 30g of Banana Cream (> half a skein of yarn), 5g of Mustard Yellow (< half a skein of yarn), 10g of Duck Egg Blue (< half a skein), 10g of Sailor Blue a (< half a skein), 5g of Coffee Bean, and a little bit of Champagne White (1 skein of yarn is about 50g)
