Necessary materials:

To knit one toy, you will need:

– Himalaya dolphin baby plush yarn – main color – 1 skein

– Plush yarn himalaya dolphin baby additional color – 0.5 skein

-YarnArt JEANS black yarn for eye and muzzle decoration

– Dental floss or other strong thread for tightening

– A needle with a large eye for sewing details and embroidery.

-Scissors

-Marker to mark the beginning of the row

The size of the finished toy depends on the hook you choose, yarn and knitting density. When knitting my toys for plush yarn, I used hook number 4.

The size of the cat is about 23 cm. The toy must be knitted in continuous spiral rows without connecting columns and lifting air loops, marking the first loop of the new row with a marker (paper clip, pin or contrasting thread)
