List of Materials:

1. You can use any chenille yarn, as you want. In this pattern I used:
   • 2 skeins of Super Bulky/14ply chenille yarn YarnArt Dolce (100g/120m) No.765
   • Himalaya Dolphin Baby (100g/120m) No.342 - 1 skein
   Keep in mind that the yarn consumption may depend on your gauge, so it is better to have another skein of the main color in stock. Additional color will take a little, about 0.5 a skein.
2. Black safety eyes 14 mm
3. Stuffing material - synthetic filling/polyfill
4. Hook size 5 mm (or your favorite hook size)
5. Yarn needle, scissors, good mood!

For the convenience:

Use a thread in a contrasting color (marker). It is not necessary to place it in each round. Do not place a marker where there are no decreases and increases.
