Notes

All pieces are inside out. Need to do dec in back loops instead of front. (or regular dec?)


Stitched eyes and nose on before stuffing. Stitched eyes on following the curve of the circle. Do not whip stitch them.

Tummy came out too large. To fix it, I only inc up to 70st. Worked 1 round of 70sc. To fit the bottom of the tummy better, I worked 59sc, then alternated 1 dec and 1sc for the rest of the row.(equals 4 dec) Plus 1 sc before the ss.

Doubled the yarn for the tummy markings and claws. Tummy marks were made before attaching to body. Arms needed to be stuffed slightly before making claws.

Followed insaknitty’s lead on the ears. Inc up to 20, work 3 rounds, dec for 2 rounds(4 decs each, ending with 12st), 6sc and 6hdc, 1sc and 1ss.
