Notes

• Pattern is worked in continuous rounds, so you do not slip stitch or chain 1 at the end of each round. 
  
• Place a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round.
  
• Keep your stitches tight throughout your project so that the stuffing does not show through. Depending on your tension, you can also try a smaller hook size.
  
• Bulky (chenille or blanket) yarn can be a little tricky if you have not used it much before. When creating your magic ring, pull gently. Try gently pulling or wiggling your yarn tail to close. You can also use the chain 2 method if preferred.
  
• Safety eyes are not recommended for children under the age of 3.
