  Materials-
  I used Lion Brand Super Saver worsted weight yarn with a US8/6mm circular knitting needle (you can use DPNs, but make sure you keep your stitches divided in half so that you can differentiate the front and back of your project). You will also need scissors, a darning/tapestry needle, buttons for eyes, and small amounts of other colored yarn for details.

  STS - Stitches
  K - Knit
  K2Tog - Knit 2 together
  P - Purl
