Before you begin:
·This amigurumi/plush is worked in continuous rounds. Mark the beginning of each round with a stitch marker. Use the “magic ring" when starting rounds, there are many youtube videos teaching how to make a magic ring or magic circle. An alternative method to the magic ring is: ch2, sc x6 (or number of sts noted) in 2nd ch from hook, sl st to join. Continue on in rounds as noted above. Gauge is not important in this project as long as you are consistent with your tension. This project is made with all sc stitches unless otherwise specified. TIP: Always change colors in the stitch BEFORE the color change by pulling the new color through the 2 loops, thus beginning with the correct color on your hook!
