About the pattern

– Work in continuous rounds. Do not join or turn unless other instructed.

– It would be wise to use a stitch marker and place it in the first stitch of the round to mark the

beginning of it. Move the marker up to the first stitch of the next round after finishing the

previous one.

– If you need to change color, do it always at the end of the previous round. Start the last

stitch of the round with the old color. Change the color right before you draw through all

loops on hook to complete stitch.

– You can easily sew the toy together when you leave piece a long yarn tail.
