Material

My Yoshi made with the materials listed above is approx. 12.5 cm tall.

  • Yarn in bulky weight, hook size 6 (J) to 7 mm in Light Green (1 skein), White (1/3 skein) and some scrap yarn in Red, Yellow, Orange, *Light Blue and Dark Violet. I‘ve been using Gründl King Cotton(Amazon link) made of 55% Acrylic and 45% Cotton, length per skein ca. 78 meters.
    *You can skip these colors if you like to do the spikes in their original orange color.
  • Hook 5 mm
  • Yarn needle for sewing and weaving in ends
  • Felt in Red and White, for eyes and mouth
  • Safety eyes approx. 9 mm – you may also use black circles of felt to sew or glue on instead
  • Sewing needle to sew on the felt elements
  • Sewing thread in Red and White; to avoid sewing on the felt elements by hand you can use glue suitable for wool instead.
  • Fibre fill for stuffing
