Your very own IGOR!

Every mad scientist needs a sidekick and this one is mine!



He's really pretty simple to make.
Materials:
Color A: 40-50 yds black worsted weight yarn
Color B: 5-10 yards tan worsted weight yarn
2 10 in lengths 26 gauge wire
1 plain black round button
1 15mm doll eye with backing
G size crochet hook
Needle
Polyfil

Since you can make him as big or as small as you would like, the yardage for the yarn is approximate.
