PATTERN NOTES & TIPS

As with all amigurumi patterns,
stitches should be worked tightly to
achieve the desired shape.
Each round is worked in a spiral and
does not need to be joined unless
otherwise specified.
You may crochet the pattern using
yarn-over or yarn-under stitches.
The project in the photo was
crocheted using yarn-under stitches.
Pattern is written in US terms.
