~ The pattern is crocheted in continuous rounds (you do not need to join each row with a slip stitch).

~ Stuff as you go and ensure to shape the amigurumi to achieve the desired shape. You can gently stretch parts of the piece to match the shape in the photos.

~ Use invisible decreases for a neater look.

~ The technique used in this pattern is the "X" stitch for the single crochet stitch. It is up to your preference if you use "X" stitch or "V" stitch but please remember, your finished product will be slightly different from mine if you use the "V" stitch .

~ This pattern can be created using any size yarn that you'd like but for a finished product that closely resembles the pattern and its size, please use the recommended yarn and hook size.

~ When it comes to hook size, I always use a hook that is 1-3 sizes smaller than the recommended hook on the yarn label. For example, the yarn I used recommended 11 mm (US) and I used an 8 mm (US).

~ The finished pattern measures about 11 inches (27.94 cm).
