Tip (make it right) Tip (make it right)


Abbreviations
If there are no special notes, the toy When making toys the right side ch(s) = chain(s)
is crocheted under both parts of the looks like this:
inc(s) = increasing(s) (2 sc in 1 st)
loop. In some rows, there are double inc = double increasing (3
special notes: ‘into the front loop sc in 1 st)
only’ or ‘into the back loop only’. In st(s) = stitch(es)
that case, you need to follow these dec(s) = decreasing(s) (sc2tog)
instructions. sc2tog = single crochet two stitches
together
sl st = slip stitch
And the backside looks like this: sc(s) = single crochet(s)
hdc = half double crochet
rnd = round

If there is a record in the brackets


in the pattern, multiplied by some
number, for example (3 sc, 1 inc) x
3, it means you need to repeat this
action 3 times, that is 3 sc, 1 inc, 3
TIP (yarn and wire) sc, 1 inc, 3 sc, 1 inc.

If you use different yarn, the toy will be bigger or smaller and you will need
more or less yarn and wire than stated in the pattern (i.e. thicker yarn will
produce a larger toy and you may require more yarn and wire).

If you decide to use thicker yarn you should buy thicker wire as well. The
thicker your yarn the taller the toy will be.

Tip (gauge)

When making toys, you should use a much smaller hook than
recommended for the yarn you choose.
Make sure you crochet tight enough; otherwise, the stuffing will show
through the holes.
