Color Changing:
Make all color changes in the last 2 loops of the final stitch of the old color.
Embroidered Stitches:
To hide the starting and fastening off ends of the embroidered stitches on the face, first thread your yarn
needle with the appropriate yarn. Tie a knot in the end of your yarn and push needle into and out of toy
between crochet stitches, coming out where you want the first embroidery stitch to be. As you pull on the
yarn the polyester toy filling will catch the knot securely inside the toy. When you have worked the
required embroidery stitches you can finish off by passing the needle in and out between different crochet
stitches a few times until the yarn is securely caught up in the polyester filling. When secure, pull on end of
yarn and snip off close to toy.
Stitch Placement: Work in both loops of the stitch unless specified otherwise.
Gauge (Tension):
Exact gauge is not crucial for this pattern. Just make sure your crochet hook is small enough to create a
tight fabric that the stuffing can’t poke through.
With the yarn and hook specified each character measures approximately 16” (40 cm) tall.
