Baby Grogu
Skill Level : Easy/Intermediate
Materials
8ply Green & Beige Cotton Yarn (I double stranded my yarn)
3.5mm Hook
Embroidery needle
Stuffing/ Fibre-fill
Any size yarn and corresponding hook will work, I used a 8 ply cotton yarn, double stranded and a 3.5mm hook. It is recommended to size down in hooks for a tighter stitch for amigurumi. Colours can be suited to your own preference. My Grogu was around 20cm high. The thicker the yarn, the bigger your toy!
