Notes

• Checking your gauge is not required for this pattern. Use a hook smaller than the recommended size for your yarn weight to ensure your stuffing won’t show through the stitches.
• All pieces are worked in the round. Use a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of each round.
• Body, head, legs, arms, tail, and strawberries require stuffing. Stuff as you work to ensure each piece is completely filled.

• A lemon slice shape starting from the middle of the MR and making a star shape with 6 points. Then outline the star to create a circle.

Assembly & Finishing

Using the Mini Stevie the Stygimoloch pattern, follow the assembly instructions as written, except for the front horns and crown horns:

• Attach one strawberry just below the tip of the skull bone, centered on R7.
• Using color pink lemonade, embroider 2 nostrils on the head, on either side of the front strawberry.
• Attach four strawberries around the back of the skull bone.

Note: 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.
