Materials Needed:
-Worsted weight yarn in blue, cream, white, black, yellow.  I used Red Heart Baby Blue (approx.. 115 yards), Red Heart Aran (approx. 15 yards), and Red Heart Soft White (approx. 5 yards), Red Heart Pale Yellow (less than one yard), and Black (less than one yard).
-Size F (3.75mm) crochet hook
-Polyfill
-Yarn needle
-Stitch Marker

Skills/Techniques required:
-Single crochet
-Increase (two single crochet stitches into the same stitch)
-Invisible decrease (Insert hook under front loop only of next two stitches, yarn over, draw through first two
loops on hook, yarn over, draw through remaining two loops to finish)
-Magic ring
-Working in the round
-Slip stitch
-Single crochet into the back loop only
-Sewing amigurumi together
-Minor embroidery (photo instructions included in pattern)

Additional Notes:
-Gauge is not terribly important here as long as you are producing a nice and
tight fabric so that the poly-fil will not poke through.
-This pattern is written using US terminology.
-Pattern is worked up in continuous(spiral) rounds. I recommend using a
stitch marker in the first stitch of each round.
-Size of finished item measures approximately 13” around and 7” tall.
-Please note that I crochet left-handed and my photo guides reflect this. If
you crochet right-handed (with your hook in your right hand), all the
stitches are the same and will look the same, you will simply be working in
the opposite direction as I am.
