You'll also need a small amount of black yarn for sewing the mouth and eyebrows, as well as red colored yarn for the ball. - **Stuffing**: Toy stuffing to give your Boo doll a cozy and plush feel. - **Wire**: A wire with a diameter of 3-4mm is required for attaching the head, neck, and body seamlessly together. - **Wooden Sticks**: Two wooden sticks approximately 22 cm long (e.g., sushi chopsticks) will help provide structure. - **Eyes**: Use plastic safety eyes or two buttons for the eyes. - **Additional Tools**: Don't forget your yarn needle, stitch holder, and three buttons, including a heart button for an extra touch of charm. ### Skill Level: This knitted Halloween project is suitable for knitters with basic to intermediate skills. ### Perfect for Halloween: Not only does this Knitted Halloween Striped Boo doll make for a fantastic decoration, but it also serves as a lovable toy or gift!
