Yarn: Base: Each character you will want approximately 120 yards of a #4 worsted weight yarn like Caron Simply Soff Yarn Grey Heather or Red Heart Soft Yarn Chocolate (For Big Bird I usedRed Heart Soft Touch Yarn Vanilla Swirl but I had to switch to a larger hook US (9/5.5Omm) Body: Each characters body is made using eyelash yarns. I used I - 5Og ball of Sirdar Funky Fur in the colour yellow for big bird and I used 1 - 5Og ball ofLion Brands Fun fur for Elmo. Both these yarns work up differently, the sirdar was best to work with hdc and the lion brand was best to work in dc stitches, the body patterns are written in de, if you have a thinner eyelash yarn use hdc sts. (I'd only recommend using the thicker lion brand eyelash yarn, it works up much nicer!) Appliques: You will need some worsted weight yarn for the Appliques, this is a great time to use up some of that scrap yarn. Hook: US H8/5.OOmm
Supplies:
· I used the lid of a sour cream container that measures approximately 4.625" in diameter. Gauge: Using one strand of worsted weight yarn - 3.75 hdc = 1" Special Stitches: Invisible Join
Notes:
· It's useful to use a stitch marker in the first stitch of each rnd. . Do not join rnds unless specified.
