st = stitch
sl st = slip stitch
ch = chain
SC = single crochet
HDC = half double crochet

Notes

• Checking your gauge is not required for this pattern. Use a hook that is smaller than the size recommended for your yarn weight. This will ensure that your stuffing will not show through the stitches.
• All pieces are worked in the round. Use a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of each round.
• Invisible decreases are recommended. Please see “Special Stitches”.
• All pieces require full stuffing. Stuff as you work to ensure each piece is completely filled.
• See tutorial photos.
