Honestly I don’t know what possessed me! Perhaps it was the many long hours I have spent in the last few weeks sewing face masks, which certainly meant I was spending a lot of quality time with my rotary cutter. But when I was gently reminded it was my time to participate in the CAL Central 2020 Softie Crochet A Long, Roy was born.

I used partial skeins of Lion Brand Color Made Easy for the black and yellow colors, some worsted held double for the silver, and small amounts for the embroidery. You could get a smaller toy by using a lighter weight yarn with an appropriate hook.
