The choice of yarn and hook is completely up to you and your personal taste, but I recommend using an environmentally friendly yarn or something from your stash. I used a organic cotton and a crochet hook size 3 (mm)

- Yarn: approx. 100g eco cotton yarn (50g = 150cm)

- Crochet hook in size 3 mm

- Stuffing

- Needle

- Scissors

- Pins (optional)

- Pompom maker (optional)

- Stitch marker (optional)

MATERIAL (Swedish)

Vilket garn du virkar i är helt upp till dig, men med tanke på miljön rekommenderar jag ett ekologiskt bomullsgarn eller restgarn. Storleken på Tilde kan variera beroende på vilket garn du väljer att använda.

- Ekologiskt bomullsgarn (50g=160m)

- Virknål i storlek nr 3

- Vadd

- Stoppnål

- Sax

- Knappnålar (valfritt)

- Markör (valfritt)

Don't find the perfect yarn at home? Treat yourself with a complete Spring CAL yarn kit. In the kit you'll find all the necessary yarn for the project, stuffing, a project bag and a physical pattern.

KEEP THIS IN MIND

- Make sure you crochet pretty tight all the way, so you don’t get large holes between the stitches. If you crochet loosely, I suggest you should test a smaller hook size (ex. 2 mm / US 0) so that the stuffing don‘t show once you‘ve filled the toy.

- All parts will be worked in spirals (if the pattern doesn’t say otherwise) - so you don‘t

have to think about closing the rounds.

- A stitch marker can help you keep track of the beginning of your rows.

NÅGRA SAKER ATT TÄNKA PÅ

- Försök virka alla delar så spänt som möjligt. Om du virkar löst rekommenderar jag att du testar att virka med en mindre nålstorlek (t.ex. 2,5 mm eller 2 mm) för att undvika stora hål där vadd kan sippra ut.

- Nästan alla delar virkas i spiral vilket betyder att du inte behöver fundera på att börja/avsluta varven.

- En markör kan hjälpa dig att hålla reda på var varvet slutar / börjar.
