I used RICO Creative Cotton and a 4mm hook
Stitch Marker
Toy stuffing
Tapestry (blunt needle)

PVA or similar glue

Stitches and Abbreviations:I use US terms, so single crochet is the same as UK double crochet here.
Chain (ch)
Single crochet (sc)
Stitch (st)
Single Crochet 2 Together (sc2tog)

To single crochet 2 together:
