Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in light blue, lime green, and light purple. I used Red Heart for the body and wings, and Caron Simply Soft Neon colors for the tail.
Hook: Size G or H depending on your tension. You may want to use the smaller hook for the tail, since Simply Soft is a little thinner than regular worsted weight.
Other materials: A small orange piece of felt cut into a triangle, googly eyes (I found the cute eye-lashy ones at Michael’s!), hot glue gun and glue, needle to sew wings and tail on.
