Materials
 Yarn/wool: I have used Catania yarn from Schachenmayr in grey (0199 – 2 x
50g), white (0106 < 50g), dark grey (0393 < 50g) and pink (0246 – 50g) color.
For the acorn auburn (0188 < 50g) and brown (0254 < 50g) color.
 Crochet hook: 3.0 mm
 Tapestry needle
 Filling
 Scissors
 Two 8 mm black safety eyes
 Optional: pebble (diagonal: 3 cm) to make Wilbur’s bottom heavier

Abbreviations

Important Notes
 All rounds are worked in a continuous spiral (except Wilbur’s bristles and eyelids).
Do not join or turn, unless instructed otherwise
 You may find it useful to use a stitchmarker for counting your rounds
 Take your time to create your amigurumi’s face, it is a very important part of the
final result
 While stuffing take care to give each part a nice shape
 Using invisible decrease instead of decrease makes the final result nicer

Size of finished figure

Using the given yarn and hook size the size of Wilbur will be 14 cm by 20 cm.
