• 3mm crochet hook or similar, to make chains

Tips
• The pieces need to be knitted tight so that the stuffing will not be visible. If you find it difficult to knit DK yarn on fine needles, use slightly larger needles.
• Leave long ends for the parts that require assembly.
• Sew the seam with RS facing, using mattress stitch.
