Material

* Wool „Catania“ by Schachenmayr (50 grams = 125m length):

Nr. 130; Nr. 383; Nr. 435; (no more than 1 ball each)
* 2,5mm hook or 3mm hook (see „general information“)
* Stitch marker
* Scissors
* Yarn sewing needle
* Stuffing
* Leftover yarn in black for the eyes and red for the heart

Abbreviations

* ch: chain stitch * hdc : half double crochet
* st: stitch * dc: double crochet
* sl st: slipstitch * inc: increase (2 sc in one st)
* sc: single crochet * dec: decrease ( 2 sc together)

General information

* The individual body parts are crocheted in spiral rounds.

* The pattern is designed so that you can crochet both: a „Comforter“ or a „Stuffed toy“.
* For a „Comforter“, I used a 3mm hook for the body so that it becomes fluffy.
* For the „Stuffed toy“, I used a 2,5mm hook throughout the pattern.
