USAGE RULES

All educational materials are copyrighted. Transmission, copying, resale is prohibited.

Crochet in continuous rounds, in a spiral, do not make a turning chain at the end of the row.

Do not turn the work unless specified.

Always use a marker, a thread of contrasting color, mark the first stitch of each new row.

For crocheting the toy, you can use absolutely any yarn, but if you use a completely different yarn, the toy may deform. Always try to find a similar one.

Also, choose the hook size based on your tension. If you have large holes forming, use a smaller hook.

Stuff the toy tightly enough so that it doesn’t lose its shape but remains soft and pleasant to touch, ensuring the stitches don’t stretch or create holes.
