METHOD

  1. First make 8 balls (for the head, body, cheeks, nose, ears and mouth), stabbing the yarn from all directions until round and springy.
  2. Connect everything together by stabbing some more, first assemble head and body, stab to shape it, then add cheeks and nose, ears and mouth at the end.
  3. Use an awl to make holes for the eyes and glue them in.
  4. Finish off by sewing on the brooch pin on the back of the hamster.
