Read the whole pattern through before beginning your project.

Work in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated with “Row”.
Use a stitch marker at the beginning of each round. Each section of
instruction is repeated to reach the (#).
Weave in all the ends after each piece is made unless otherwise
indicated to use tail to close hole.
Stuff pieces as you go so that everything is sufficiently stuffed.
Use your judgment as to how much stuffing to use.
Using a little extra stuffing isn’t a bad idea because over time it will settle.
