: intermediate
MR – Magic ring
ch – chain
sc - single crochet
slst - slip stitch
inc – increase (2 sc in one st)
dec – invisible decrease (crochet next 2 st together)
st/sts – stitch/stitches
BLO - back loop only
R – round/row
()*… - repeat instructions in blackets … times
Number in () at the end of the round indicates number of st in that round
k. - knit

- Do not join rounds; work

in a continuous spiral unless
otherwise stated.
- Fasten off your work always
with needle join and you will
get a neat result.
- Stuff your amigurumi as
you go.
- Mostly, I embroider muzzles
using embroidery floss.
- Use a stitch marker or a piece
of yarn to mark the beginning
of a round.
- Toys measures ~ 13 - 14 cm
(5 - 5.5 inches) using
the materials described.
Work with white yarn.
