Yarn

Each pattern specifies the yarn requirements at the start. For this project, you'll need small quantities of DK (8-ply) weight yarn for each bear, so feel free to use your existing stash. Each bear needs approximately 8-10g for the body, 3g for the trousers, and 5g for the jumper. Additionally, some bears may require extra yarn for embellishments.

The crochet hook is to make chains and does not need to be precisely 3mm. You do not need to know crochet technique for this project.
