Materials & Tools

- **Yarn:** MC (Main Color) & CC (Contrasting Color) of any weight yarn, approximately 50 grams of MC and 25 grams of CC.

- **Needles:** Use US 5 needles, though be aware that the required needle size may vary based on the yarn you choose. For optimal results, I recommend going down 1 to 2 sizes from the smallest needle size indicated on your yarn label.

- **Working Method:** This project can be worked using DPNs (Double Pointed Needles), 2 circular needles, or a 40” circular needle using the Magic Loop method, which is my preferred technique. Just ensure that you distribute your stitches evenly for a smooth round knitting experience.

- **Additional Tools:** You'll need an extra needle for the 3-needle decrease and join, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and a stitch marker (optional) to indicate the beginning of the round.

- **Safety Eyes:** I used 15mm safety eyes on my samples, giving BONK a charming expression.

- **Mouth Detailing:** Embroidery floss or yarn scraps can be used to create a cute mouth.

- **Stuffing:** Fill BONK with polyfill for an adorable, cuddly finish.

- **Optional Eye Material:** Wool felt can also be utilized for added detail in the eyes, enhancing the overall look.
