MATERIAL:

•3.5mm / US E-4 crochet hook and 2.75mm / US C-2 crochet hook
•Yarn: #4 / Aran / worsted yarn, 8ply, 80% cotton 20% Milk Fiber, in off white, forest green, dark brown for the pom pom (I use a local shop yarn, an equivalent would be Paintbox Cotton Aran, but keep the 3.5mm hook to obtain tight stitches and avoid the fiberfill to show)
• DMC Happy Cotton: shades 776 and 777 for the fishing bag, shade 794 for the scarf, shade 796 for the fishes. This yarn is a #3 /DK-light 100% cotton, and I use the 2.5mm hook.
• A black embroidery thread (DMC Cotton Perle N°8 shade 310) to embroider the nose, mouth and claws
• Fiberfill
• A pair of 8mm safety eyes
• Tapestry needle, scissors
• Stitch marker(s) (or a piece of thread to mark your round beginning)
• Ball point pins for assembly
• A small piece of wood for the fishing rod.
