She’s sure to give hours of fun to little ones.
NOTES
Pattern is constructed using the amigurumi method. Work in a continuous spiral without closing off each round with a slip stitch. You may find it helpful to mark the first stitch of the round, moving the marker up as you work. Slip stitches are not included in stitch counts unless otherwise stated.
If you are making these toys for a child under 36 months, do not use safety eyes; instead, embroider eyes with stranded cotton.
