Materials
You can make them in all kinds of colors and yarn weight. I used some sports weight yarn for my cat. Be aware that the size will change if you use a different yarn. I used Drops Safran from Garnstudio, but you can get away with any yarn. My amigurumi cat is about 3,5 inches. If you want to adjust the size, just use different yarn and a hook that matches.
I used a 3.0 mm crochet hook (I use clover amour), scissors, tapestry needle, safety eyes and filling materials.
