NOTES
This pattern is worked using the amigurumi method. Work stitches continuously in a spiral without closing off each round with a slip stitch. It may help to use a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round, moving it up as you work. If you are making this toy for a child under 36 months, do not use safety eyes; instead, embroider eyes with stranded cotton.
