About the Graphs
M The graphs are used to map out the color
markings when adding patterns to Betty
M Inc/Dec indicators in the graph follow the
written pattern (which is from a right hand per-
spective.) While most of these will fall in the
same location a few may differ. Placing where
they fall for you following the written or chang-
ing to the graph location should both produce
the same results.
M Each box in the graph represents a speci�ic Sc
stitch for that row (Hdc for Row 1).
M Graphs are read from bottom to top
M The row start arrows alternate from left to
right every row. This is to show the �low of the
color changes row for row, to ensure the �inal
pattern shows as intended from one side at the
end with. Work each row crocheting as you nor-
mally would, however pay mind to where colors
changes fall on the graph.
M Carry colors along what will be the inside of
the amigurumi as you alternate rows for a
neater �inished item. This will be the side with-
out the raised bump of row 1 Hdc Sts.
M The border round will go around the entire
top piece at the end.

ALL VERSIONS
• FO, weave in ends.
• Line body to belly with the right sides of the
edges facing out. Do not worry if one looks
longer than the other at this point (trust the
process!)
• Using the long tail of the back, slowly start whip
stitching through both loops of both pieces until
you are 9 Sts from the nose (or 171 Sts joined).
• For the next 22 Sts, we will only be working into
the BLO of the belly piece and both loops of the
back while joining. (�igure 4)
• START STUFFING, making sure to get into the
nose area in front of the eye posts. From here
on out, stuff evenly as you go, and be careful not
to over stuff.
• Switch back to working into both loops of the
back and belly pieces and whip stitch the re-
maining 173 Sts together. If you start to run out
of the tail you are using to join before you reach
the end, weave it in and secure and add another
piece of same color yarn to join the remaining
Sts.
• FO and weave in end.

About the Graphs
M The graphs are used to map out the color
markings when adding patterns to Betty
M Inc/Dec indicators in the graph follow the writ-
ten pattern (which is from a right hand perspective.)
While most of these will fall in the same location a
few may differ. Placing where they fall for you fol-
lowing the written or changing to the graph location
should both produce the same results.
M Each box in the graph represents a speci�ic Sc
stitch for that row (Hdc for Row 1).
M Graphs are read from bottom to top
M The row start arrows alternate from left to right
every row. This is to show the �low of the color
changes row for row, to ensure the �inal pattern
shows as intended from one side at the end with.
Work each row crocheting as you normally would,
however pay mind to where colors changes fall on
the graph.
M Carry colors along what will be the inside of
the amigurumi as you alternate rows for a
neater �inished item. This will be the side with-
out the raised bump of row 1 Hdc Sts.
M The border round will go around the entire top
piece at the end.

ALL VERSIONS
• FO, weave in ends.
• Line body to belly with the right sides of the
edges facing out. Do not worry if one looks
longer than the other at this point (trust the
process!)
• Using the long tail of the back, slowly start whip
stitching through both loops of both pieces until
you are 9 Sts from the nose (or 171 Sts joined).
• For the next 22 Sts, we will only be working
into the BLO of the belly piece and both
loops of the back while joining.
• START STUFFING, making sure to get into the
nose area in front of the eye posts. From here
on out, stuff evenly as you go, and be careful not
to over stuff.
• Switch back to working into both loops of the
back and belly pieces and whip stitch the re-
maining 173 Sts together. If you start to run
out of the tail you are using to join before
you reach the end, weave it in and secure
and add another piece of same color yarn to
join the remaining Sts.
• FO and weave in end.
