Notes

• Checking your gauge is not required for this pattern. Use a hook that is smaller than the size recommended for your yarn weight. This will ensure that your stuffing will not show through the stitches.
• This pattern requires no sewing. The eyes, head, and body are worked as one piece, with the arms and legs worked directly into the body as you work, rather than sewing later.
• All pieces are worked in the round. Use a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of each round.
• Invisible decreases are recommended. Please see “Special Stitches”.
• Safety eyes and noses pose a choking risk for babies; therefore, if making this toy for a baby, I recommend using yarn, felt, or embroidered details.
• All pieces require stuffing. Stuff each piece as you work to ensure the piece is completely filled.
• See tutorial photos.
