Winnie-the-Pooh- Materials
This pattern can be made with any yarn and hook. I used:
• Super bulky, Chenille Home Slim yarn: Mustard, Rhubarb, and Black
•5.5 mm and 6 mm crochet hooks
• Tapestry needle
•Safety eyes, 12 mm
•Stuffing
Tips
• For clean lines I suggest always fastening off with the invisible join.
• At the start and end of the shirt and sleeves, you get the crisp lines by first slip stitching in the back loops (as outlined in the pattern).
• It is easier to work in these loops if the sl st are loose. I do that by going up a hook size by 0.5 mm for the sl st.
•This colour change technique can leave a small piece of the bottom colour visible (photo 1).
I cover this using a yarn tail from the top colour (photos 2 and 3)
