You Will Need:
• DK/Light WW Yarn in 2 colours
• Crochet hook (I used a 3.75mm [F] )
• Stitch Marker
• Embroidery/yarn needle
• Button (optional)
• Brooch Pin (optional)
Abbreviations
• Ch - Chain Stitch
• Sc - Single Crochet
• St/Sts - Stitch/Stitches
• Slst - Slip Stitch
• Hdc – Half Double Crochet
• Dc – Double Crochet
• ** - Marks a group of stitches to be repeated
Gauge
No gauge, just keep your stitches nice and tight to avoid gaps in your work
Finished Size
6cm’s wide (approx.) using a 3.75mm (F) hook and DK yarn.
Other Info
• Although this isn’t amigurumi, you still work in continuous rounds; in a spiral, unless otherwise stated. Don’t join at the end of a row; just keep going
• Use stitch markers or a piece of scrap yarn to mark the start of every round. Replace at the start of the next round as you go along. This will help you keep track of where you started, and saves a lot of time if things go wrong!
• I write my patterns in American terms, so Sc means Single Crochet; Dc means Double Crochet etc
• The number at the end of each round is the number of stitches you should now have
• Using a thicker yarn than DK/bigger hook than 3.75mm (F) will result in the toy being a considerably different size to that shown.

I hope you get on ok with the pattern – it’s not one of the most straight forward ones I’ve written lol!
