Notes

A delightful design.

Language: Dutch.
A pdf in English did not accompany the directions.
Thank goodness for google translate.
One could figure it out without translating but there’s no reason.

Original design calls for Teddy, worsted, 160 y / 50 g.

Dutch translation to US Crochet Terminology Abbreviations:
l = losse = chain
hv = halve vaste = slip stitch
v = vaste = single crochet

This designer has many unique, creative and adorable designs.
I want to make ( knitted): Charlie the dog, Suzy the Sheep and this designer’s crocodile design, which isn’t in ravelry, but is available from the website.
Max the Crocodile:

Securely placed a few ounces of plastic weight pellets in back feet because the head is big and heavy.
Added a carry handle at back nape area.

100 % recycled stuffing, beautiful and fluffy, economical 5 lb bag, $ 22 USD from https://www.officesupply.com/craft-supplies/crafts/tradit....
Free shipping with an order of $45 USD.
Note: they have tons of yarn, reasonably priced.
