If you use different yarn, the toy will be bigger or smaller and you will need
more or less yarn and wire than stated in the pattern (i.e. thicker yarn will
produce a larger toy and you may require more yarn and wire).
If you decide to use thicker yarn you should buy thicker wire as well. The
thicker your yarn the taller the toy will be.

When making toys, you should use a much smaller hook than
recommended for the yarn you choose.
Make sure you crochet tight enough; otherwise, the stuffing will show
through the holes.
