Plus who said love notes are only for Valentine's day… Another free amigurumi pattern to make for someone you love, or a cool toy for kids to play with ! Great pattern for intermediate crocheters and amigurumi lovers. Do spend some time on the head details (eyes, eyebrows, nose), they'll make the whole difference in your amigurumi expression!"

Materials List

• Yarn #4 / cotton aran, 8ply, 80% cotton 20% Milk Fiber, in light beige, dark blue, marine blue, white, plus a small piece of light peach or light pink for the nose
  (I use a local shop yarn, that I find quite thick for a #4, an equivalent would be Paintbox Cotton Aran but keep the 3.5mm hook to obtain tight stitches and avoid gaps where the fiberfill shows)
• DMC Happy cotton shade 777 for the bag
• DMC Cotton Perle N°8 shade 938 to embroider the eyebrows
• Any 1meter piece of red yarn that fits a 2.5mm hook (or you can use the same aran yarn as the one for the body, and work with only 2 or 3 plies)
• tapestry needle
• fiberfill
• stitch marker
• a pair of 8mm safety eyes
• Ball point pins for assembly
• Embroidery needle
