If you use different yarn, the toy crocheting in the opposite direction
will be bigger or smaller and you
will need more or less yarn and If there is a record in the brackets in the pattern,

larger toy and you may require that is 3 sc, 1 inc, 3 sc, 1 inc, 3 sc, 1 inc.
more yarn).
While working, you will need to keep the work symmetrical. As the work tends to twist to the
right you need to adjust the position of the marker periodically (beginning of round). If you notice
that the marker moves right, you need to work one extra stitch in the end of round and move the
marker for one stitch (now the 2nd st of the round becomes 1st). If you notice that the marker
moves left, you need to unravel one stitch (or more if eeded). This is shift stitch – it is not included
in the description of the rounds. Usually you have to do shift stitches every 3-5 rounds (depending
on the yarn, hook and our gauge). To check if it is time to work shift stitch(es) fold your work in
half and check if the marker still goes straight. You should keep the marker in a straight line
on some parts of the toy. Instructions for the marker are given in the description of each part of
the toy if needed

Cut 2 pieces of wire (each piece - approximately 45 cm). If the wire is not white, it’s
better to wrap it with an adhesive plaster so that the wire can’t be seen in the toy.
