SIZE/MEASUREMENTS
approx. 3"length x 2.75"width
...but can vary based on yarn and hook size.
MATERIALS
*Crochet hook size: 2.25mm (B)
*Sport Weight Yarn: Tea Leaf (15yds) & Light Brown (7yds)
*Stitch Markers to mark your rounds
*Tapestry Needle
PATTERN NOTES - must-read...
Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round/row indicate the total number of stitches.
Always use stitch markers to mark your rounds.
There's no need to sl st and/or ch when going to the next round unless stated to do so.
When a round or row mentions “around/across” you will be working that whole sequence from that round/row around the entire piece. (EX: sc in next st, 2sc in next st, around = sc, inc, sc, inc,…).jpg)
ASSEMBLE
I recommend pinning the pieces before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people prefer to use the yarn at the end of the finished pieces to sew them in place, but I use matching thread).
HEAD...attach the last round to the bottom shell.
