NOTES
Pattern is worked using the amigurumi method, working in a continuous spiral without closing off each round with a ss. You may find it helpful to mark the first st of the round, moving the marker up as you work.
Refer to the images when joining parts together. If you are making this toy for a child under 36 months, do not use safety eyes; instead, embroider eyes with black stranded cotton.
