Pattern Info
Instructions
This little guy was crocheted using fingering weight yarn and a size C hook, even though the pattern calls for worsted weight yarn.It's easy to substitute yarn, just select a hook that matches your size yarn.

What was your inspiration?
I love substituting yarns, so I wanted to demonstrate that this pattern could be done with any weight yarn.
I used some scraps of sock yarn to make this (and what else are you going to do with a few dozen yards of sock yarn?), so it's a great way to clean out your stash!
What are you most proud of?
I'm delighted that I could use yarn that wasn't much good for another project!
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Don't be afraid to substitute!
