Materials and tools for knitting elk:
Yarn for knitting two colors: beige and dark brown. I knitted from the remnants of yarn, so, unfortunately, I can’t say which yarn I used, because labels are long lost. But I think this is not so scary. You can choose any yarn you like. The main thing is that it be the same thickness.
Crochet hook suitable for the size of the selected yarn. I crocheted No. 1.25.
Filler for soft toys.
Two black beads for the eyes.
Quite a bit of white Iris yarn to shape the moose’s eye.
Thin wire for the frame.
4 buttons for attaching paws.
Thread, needle for sewing.
Scissors.
