Crochet info:

This project is worked in the round, if you don’t have any markers use a safety pin to
mark beginning of each round.

This toy is preferably made in a cotton yarn, using a smaller hook than requested on the
yarn, to make sure there aren’t any big holes for the baby to pull the wadding trough.

When a series of stitches is repeated it is placed within * - * behind is the number of

times it will be repeated. The sts are separated with a comma, so: 1 sc,2 sc, means that
you make 1 sc in the first st and 2 sc in the next st.
