  • Fine needle: For sewing components together
  • Thread: For securing elements
  • Small closure: Button, snap fastener, or Velcro piece
  • Scissors: For trimming excess yarn
  • Stuffing: For the pillow accessory

  • Single crochet (sc): Basic stitch forming the majority of this project
  • Slip stitch (ss): Used to join rounds or move position without adding height
  • Increase (inc): Working two single crochets into one stitch
  • Decrease (dec): Working two stitches together to reduce count
  • Chain (ch): Creates foundation row and turning chains
  • Turning chain (tc): Chain stitch(es) at beginning of rows for proper height
