Cotton yarn/thread nº4 in yellow and red (worked 2 strands together)
2.5mm crochet hook
Tapestry needle
9mm safety eyes
Black and brown embroidery thread
Stuffing
Abbreviations:
mc – Magic Circle
sc – Single Crochet
ch – Chain
inc – Increase (2 stitches in the same stitch)
dec - Decrease (turn 2 stiches into 1)
f.o - Fasten Off
Pattern Notes:
The pattern will be worked in continuous rounds unless told otherwise.
Stuff as you go, but note that the arms and ears will not be stuffed.
Work with two strands held together to achieve the same size as mine (15cm) if you use only one strand, use 6mm safety eyes.
When sewing parts together use only one of the strands so that the seams aren't too bulky.
**You may notice some rounds start different, changing the order of the stitches makes it so that you don't have a decrease seam**
