SKILLS

To make this toy you need to have intermediate (or a confident beginner :) ) crochet skills and be familiar with how to do basic stitches (magic ring, single crochet, chain, increase, invisible decrease, front loops only and back loops only). Some of the techniques such as front/back loops only, color change and invisible decrease are explained in the pattern.

This toy should turn out to be around 5in/13cm tall. Please note that the final result of your toy may look a little different from the one in the pictures since it depends on your skill level and materials.
