Notes

Any sock will do but Jessica particularly likes to use the fuzzy fluffy bed socks that you can buy from shops like Target, Primark, and discount shops. Or you can order them very cheaply on eBay. Because of the 'fuzziness' all the stitches are hidden making this a perfect craft for beginners. 

ā€‹

You can use socks you already have or buy some specially. With the exception of possibly treating yourself to some special socks, you should easily be able to make a cute plushie just from things you already have at home. 

ā€‹

Stuffing can be anything like toy stuffing, cotton wool, the inside of an old pillow or finely chopped up scrap fabric or towels. Use whatever you can get hold of easily.

ā€‹

Grab some socks, needle, and thread and let's get started!
