PATTERN NOTES It is not necessary to use the recommended yarn and crochet hook to make this
amigurumi. Using a smaller crochet hook, and suitable yarn, the amigurumi will
be smaller while preserving the same proportions.
The pattern is mainly worked using the “amigurumi” method: working in a
continuous spiral without closing off the round with a slst.
Mark your rounds with a tail of yarn or use a regular stitch marker in the last
stitch of each round, moving it up as you work.
CONSTRUCTION Head and body are worked in one piece starting from the top of the head. All the
other pieces are sewn to the body.
