Materials needed
- Yarn: any yarn you would like to use. Keep in mind that size can vary with different yarn. Yarn that I have used for: White Bobby: White Himalaya Everyday, Pink Bobby: Pink Schachenmayr Bravo
- Small strands of yarn: dark yarn for embroidering mouth, pink/red yarn for embroidering cheeks
- Safety eyes 8mm
- Stuffing
- Hook: 3mm
- Scissors
- Darning needle

Final measurements
The soft toy is around 6cm x 8 cm, but the size may depend on the used yarn.
Few words before starting
The pattern is written in American terminology. Crochet in a spiral. It is advised to use a stitch marker to keep track of your rows. Crochet through both loops of the stitch. You should crochet very tightly to avoid holes to be showing while stuffing. Have fun!
