Not all faux fur is equal - I really love Sirdar Faux Fur Yarn.
It's consistently easy to use, super soft and the 50 gram balls of fur yarn are the perfect amount - no left overs here!
Not only is it well priced, you only need half a ball of faux fur yarn and the colour choices are fantastic.
The technique used in this pattern will see the faux fur attached using surface crochet which means you don't need to work back into the fur yarn, keeping things really easy.
I used PaintBox Simply Chunky to use alongside the Sirdar Faux Fur Yarn, as the colours complement the faux fur so well!
