You’ll need:
4-ply acrylic yarn
pencils, or pens
tape measure
glue
scissors
ribbon to tie around neck
General Instructions For Head and Body:
Cut a 6″ square of firm cardboard. Pull yarn free from the center of skein and wrap 50 times around board. Slide yarn off board carefully. Gather bundles together and tie together close to one end. Cut through folds at opposite end. Now, flip the yarn so that it covers the tied ends.
Tie about 1″ – 2″ from top of yarn, hiding tied ends and forming head. Don’t tie real tight as the pencil will need to be pushed up through the neck. Cut pattern pieces from appropriate colors.
Finishing:
Once you have the face done, gently push the pencil inside the head and tie around neck. Trim ends evenly.
