Reviewed by nuronfire on 2012-01-26 *****
This was one of my first crochet projects. It took a couple tries starting out but actually the directions were quite straightforward. I had a lot of white yarn so I made it white with one black ear. The black was hard for me to work with, as far as seeing my stitches, but that is likely because I am a beginner.

I ended up putting the pellets in a ziplock bag, and it turned out nicely. I sewed on eyes for this one, but may buy eyes if I make one as a gift.

It turned out quite well for a first project. I would make it again.
