**Mate­ri­als Need­ed**
- Yarn: To cre­ate this adorable lit­tle pil­low, you can use acrylic yarn, which is wide­ly avail­able and comes in var­i­ous col­ors. You may want to choose white yarn for a tra­di­tion­al tooth appear­ance. A bulki­er yarn will make a giant pil­low, and you can exper­i­ment with dif­fer­ent sizes based on your pref­er­ence.

Cro­chet Hook: Start with a 4mm cro­chet hook for the pil­low’s body. To make a more over­sized pil­low, con­sid­er using a larg­er cro­chet hook size to accom­mo­date the bulki­er yarn.

- Safe­ty Eyes: For the adorable face of the tooth pil­low, con­sid­er using safe­ty doll eyes. Safe­ty eyes add a cute and life­like touch to your cre­ation.

Slip Stitch (sl st): Use the slip stitch to join rounds or close off stitch­es. This is espe­cial­ly use­ful for con­nect­ing the pil­low’s top piece and back pan­el.

Tapes­try Nee­dle: A tapes­try nee­dle is handy for weav­ing in yarn tails and adding safe­ty eyes.

Sin­gle Cro­chet (sc): Work a round of sin­gle cro­chet to cre­ate the back pock­et of the tooth pil­low. This is where young chil­dren can place their lost teeth for the tooth fairy.

I made this Tooth Fairy Pil­low Pat­tern for my two young girls who are los­ing their teeth! I thought it would be so cute to use so they could place their tooth in the pil­low’s pock­et and get mon­ey from the tooth fairy! Are you look­ing for a fun and easy project on a lazy day?
