PATTERN NOTES
Naptime Nelly is created in pieces and seamed. Trunk is worked directly onto head, with ears sewn on separately. Body is crocheted in the round to make a tube, which is then flattened and seamed along the top and bottom. Finally, head and feet are sewn as shown and a contrast smooth yarn is used to add features and optional shaping to complete a squishy snuggle buddy.
When working in continuous rounds, place a marker in first stitch to indicate beginning of the round. Move marker up on subsequent rounds.
