Notes

Very cute design.
Great for any kid’s bedroom.
A destash project.
Held yarn double.

Some info:
Calls for ~ 600 y super bulky, MC of the design yarn (100 y/ball).
One might need over 5 sk of it using the 7.0 mm hook, so, 6 balls are listed in the directions.
And one sk for CC~ 100 y.
Pattern is in UK crochet terminology.
In US terms, stitches are sc.
Pattern gauge:
12 st, 14 r / 4” sc

Stuffing option:
Purchased a 12” x 12” pillow insert.
Stuffed the head section with fiberfill.
Cut the top seam of the pillow insert off.
Placed the pillow in, smoothing out the transition between the regular stuffing and the pillow.
Placed a little stuffing in the lower corners before closing up the lower edge.
