I started with fdc instead of a starting chain and 1 row dc.

I began with 69 fdc and ran out of yarn 6” short of finishing the last row. I realized that it was too big, anyway, so I ripped it back to the fdc row and reduced the stitch count to 63.

Since the faux fur yarn is so bulky, I worked the trim starting and ending one stitch from the edge to make the twist easier to seam.

Body: I hook (5.5mm)
Trim: K hook (6.5mm)
