This fun and rewarding knitting project is perfect for anyone looking to enhance their crafting repertoire while making an adorable addition to any child's playtime or home decor.
**Materials Needed:**
- 4 double-pointed needles (DPNs) in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. For a firmer, durable fabric, I recommend using needles that are a size or two smaller than the yarn's recommended size. For example, I used size 2 (3mm) needles.
- Pink acrylic yarn from "Flora" by company Kartopu (230 meters / 100 grams) for the main body.
- Black acrylic yarn from "Flora" by company Kartopu (230 meters / 100 grams) for accents and features.
- Toy stuffing to give your toy a delightful, cuddly shape.
- A yarn needle for weaving in ends and assembling your toy.
- Plastic safety eyes for a charming and child-safe finish.
- Wire with a diameter of 3-4mm, lengths L=2x10 cm and L=40 cm for the wings' structure and rotation.
- A stitch holder to keep your stitches organized.
