You can follow along with the Wolf pattern from chapter one of the book Fairy Tales: Cottage Stories or order a separate wolf kit or bundle online to receive wool in your choice of colours and a digital pattern.
Whether you're making the Wolf that tricks Red Riding Hood, tries to eat the Three Little Pigs or an enchanted Wolf Prince from a faraway kingdom, Kerry's got all the techniques covered from the tips of those 'big ears' all the way through to the claws on his toes.
You’ll also need a 3mm crochet hook (or your favourite size to achieve standard TOFT DK tension which will be covered in the first days of the CAL). You can purchase stuffing, scissors and wool needles from our haberdashery or use what you have at home already.
Remember to share your progress and finished projects with the hashtag #OnceUponaTOFT. We can't wait to see your wolves come to life!
