Notes

  • Checking your gauge is not required for this pattern. Use a hook smaller than the recommended size for your yarn weight to ensure that your stuffing won’t show through the stitches.
  • All pieces, except the hair, are worked in the round. Use a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of each round.
  • Invisible decreases are recommended. Please see “Special Stitches” for more information.
  • Safety eyes and noses pose a choking risk for babies; therefore, if making this toy for a baby, I recommend using yarn, felt, or embroidered details.
