EYES: Whether you prefer a whimsical touch or a classic look, you can use 6mm, 8mm, or 9mm safety eyes, which add a charming detail to each toy. Alternatively, eyes can also be beautifully embroidered using black yarn or embroidery floss for a hand-crafted finish.

BASIC KNITTING SKILLS REQUIRED: To successfully create your Candy Cousins, you will need to know how to cast on, cast off (or bind off), knit, purl, k2tog (knit 2 stitches together), p2tog (purl 2 stitches together), and kfb (knit front and back of stitch to increase). These essential techniques will guide you as you stitch together your cuddly creature.

The pattern is easy to follow, featuring clear and detailed instructions along with vibrant colored pictures to assist you at every stage of your toy-making journey. Each row of the pattern is numbered for added convenience, ensuring a smooth knitting experience.
