KEEP THIS IN MIND

• Make sure you crochet pretty tight all the way, so you don’t get large holes between the stitches. If you crochet loosely, I suggest you should test a smaller hook size (e.g. 2.50 mm) so that the stuffing doesn‘t show once you‘ve filled the toy.

• The choice of yarn is completely up to you and your personal taste, but I recommend using an environmentally friendly yarn or something from your stash.

• All parts will be worked in spirals (if the pattern doesn’t say otherwise) - so you don‘t have to think about closing the rounds.

• A stitch marker can help you keep track of the beginning of your rows.
