Notes:
 It is necessary to remember the starting position of the first needle
with a stitch marker or thread head in the process of hooking for
counting.
 Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round.
 All stitches are worked in both loops unless stated otherwise in the
pattern.
 The beginning and end of the thread can be hidden in stitches or
stuffing. You can also knot the thread as long as it does not affect the
appearance
 Except for the parts where the stitching position is especially
emphasized, please stitch the other parts to the place you think
suitable.

redistribute this pattern or claim it as your own. You may sell your
finished toy if you like, but please credit KaiaCrochet Shop first.
