For this pattern you will need any thickness crochet cotton or yarn, I used Scheepjes Catona cotton colours (115) Hot Red, (110) Black, (516) Candy Apple, (393) Charcoal, (406) Soft Beige, (254) Moon Rock and (515) Emerald. A crochet hook, I used a 2.5mm hook. A darning needle to weave in ends and a pair of scissors. Thread and needle to stitch it together. A small gold or brown bead for the eye.
The finished size will be 19cm wide x 17cm high (7.5” wide x 6.5” high) for the larger cardinal, using 8 ply crochet cotton. The size of the cardinal in Catona will be 17cm wide x 15.5cm high (6.5” wide x 6” high). The medium cardinal will be 13cm wide x 12cm high (5” wide x 4.75” high) when using 4 ply crochet cotton. The small cardinal will be 11cm wide x 9cm high (4.5” wide x 3.5” high) when using 2 ply crochet cotton.
