Pattern Notes
The pattern is worked using the amigurumi method using 2 strands of yarn held together
unless otherwise stated. Work stitches continuously in a spiral without closing off each
round with a slip stitch. It may help to use a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round,
moving it up as you work. When making decreases in amigurumi make sure to work
through the front loops only.
