NOTES
The pattern is worked using the amigurumi method. Work 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. The Head and Body are worked in one piece. The Tail is crocheted into a space created on the Body. All other parts are made separately and sewn in place at the end.
