NOTES
Parts of this pattern are worked using the amigurumi method. Work stitches continuously in a spiral without closing off each round with a slip stitch. It may help to use a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round, moving it up as you work.
If you are making this as a toy for a child under 36 months, do not use safety eyes or buttons; instead, embroider using black stranded cotton.
