Please look over the pattern carefully before starting. When you change colorsover a few stitches, you can drop the yarn and leave a short float (making sure

it's not too tight) or crochet over it instead of fastening it off each time.

Materials: Worsted weight yarn in pink, white, and orange. (I used Vanna's Choice Baby and Red Heart Super Savers) Pair of 9mm safety eyes Keychain Stuffing

Gauge:

It's important to make sure the hook size you're using is theappropriate size for your yarn and tension. Choose a size that makesthe stitches tight enough so stuffing doesn't show through. Generally,you should use a hook that is about 2 sizes smaller than recommended

on the yarn label.

Pattern Notes:

Pattern is written in US terms. All pieces are worked through both loops. If you crochet in the

back loop only, the stitches will be taller and finished object will have different shapes and proportions.

This pattern is worked in a continuous spiral. Use a stitch markerto mark the start or end of the round.

Increases are written with the number before the stitch such as2 sc in stor3 dc in st.
