- Sewing Needle: This is likely for sewing together the crocheted pieces and adding details.
- Stuffing Material: Polyester wadding is recommended to stuff the toy.

Abbreviations Used in the Pattern:

Crocheting Tips and Techniques:
- Amigurumi Size: The finished toy should be approximately 7.5 cm tall when using the specified yarn and hook sizes.
- Tight Stitches: It's important to crochet with tight stitches to prevent the stuffing material from showing between gaps.
- Spiral Crocheting: Crochet all pieces in a spiral fashion without joining rounds with slip stitches or lifting loops, as this helps to avoid visible seams.
- Use a Marker: Use a marker to keep track of the beginning of each round. This can be a coloured pin or a piece of thread in a contrasting colour. Move the marker to the last loop at the end of each round.
- Closing Rounds: To ensure neat edges and to avoid jarring unevenness, finish each detail or round crocheted in the spiral with a slip stitch.
- Adjusting Hook Size: If you notice tiny holes in your fabric, switch to a smaller hook size to tighten the stitches.
Remember to use the appropriate hook size for the different parts of the toy: the 2.00 mm hook for the main parts and the 1.25 mm hook for the arms. Always ensure you are following the pattern accordingly, and use the abbreviations as a guide for the types of stitches you will be using.
By following these tips, you should be able to create a beautiful, seamless amigurumi toy without any stuffing material peeking out. Have fun with your crocheting project!
