Abbreviations & extra explanation

sts = stitches
ch = chain stitch
slst = slip stitch
sc = single crochet
rnd = rounds
tog = together (eg. sc2tog = use single crochet to join 2 stitches together,
decrease)
[] …x = repeat the instructions in parentheses …(number)… times

Make sure you crochet tightly throughout the entire pattern, so you do not get stretch holes
between your stitches and the filling doesn’t come through your stitches after filling firmly.
This pattern is worked in spiral, unless indicated otherwise.

Take your time to pin all the parts in place, before sewing them into place. This way you can
make sure that the parts are in the correct position, which is important for a good end result.
All parts are crocheted in spiral, unless indicated otherwise.
