If there are no special notes, the toy When making toys the right side ch(s) = chain(s)
is crocheted under both parts of the looks like this:
st(s) = stitch(es)
loop. In some rows, there are sl st = slip stitch
special notes: ‘into the front loop sc(s) = single crochet(s)
only’ or ‘into the back loop only’. In inc(s) = increasing(s) (2 sc in 1 st)
that case, you need to follow these dec(s) = decreasing(s) (sc2tog)
instructions. Rnd = round

And the backside looks like this: If there is a record in the brackets
in the pattern, multiplied by some
number, for example (3 sc, 1 inc) x
3, it means you need to repeat this
action 3 times, that is 3 sc, 1 inc, 3
sc, 1 inc, 3 sc, 1 inc.

TIP (yarn)

If you use different yarn, the toy will be bigger or smaller and you will need
more or less yarn and wire than stated in the pattern (i.e. thicker yarn will
produce a larger toy and you may require more yarn).

Tip (gauge)

When making toys, you should use a much smaller hook than
recommended for the yarn you choose.
Make sure you crochet tight enough; otherwise, the stuffing will show
through the holes.
