Abbreviations

• MR - Magic ring
• sc - single crochet
• inc - increase
• dec - decrease
• sist - slip stitch
• ch - chain
• BLO - back loops only
• FLO - front loops only
• *6 - number of repeats

* Choose the correct hook size which is appropriate for the yarn you are going to use. Your choice can be different from mine, but please pay attention to the fact, that the size of the toy will be different when you use other yarn and other hook size.

* Use a stitch marker for your convenience and rounds counting.

* Stuff all the pieces as you go, firmly (unless otherwise stated), gradually adding small portions of stuffing and forming necessary shapes of pieces.

Do not cut the thread, insert the needle at point F, exit through point B. Insert the needle at point A, exit through point E. Tighten the thread.

• Check the overall shape and stuffing. Add more fiberfill if necessary to ensure the toy holds its shape.
• Re-check all sewn seams and secure any loose threads.
• Use additional pastel crayons or pencils to add more shading if desired.
• Ensure all safety eyes and other components are firmly attached.
