The given amounts of yarn are for guidance only.

If nothing else is specified, work in spiral rounds.

To finish the work, join the round with a sl st.
Leave a 20 cm length of yarn and cut. Pull the
yarn through the stitch.

It is recommended that the filling continues on an UK

ongoing basis as the work progresses.
Finish the whole work by assembling all parts

the body.
For placements, look at the pictures in the
pattern, or as it will be natural on the finished

Mounting of the safety eyes:

The eyes are inserted, and the rear stops to the
eyes are pushed from the inside.
The rear stops can and should be a little hard to
plug in to ensure that they are sticking well.

Good to know
Hook Size & Tension
Crocheters crochet very differently: some crochet with a hook
size 2,0 mm and obtain the same size of design and quality
as a person who crochets with a hook size 4,0 mm. We owe
this knowledge to the team of crocheters who join us.
The key to crochet a specific size is a lot about the crochet
style/hands/skills, rather than the size of hook. Therefore,
we will recommend a range of hook sizes.
