RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. Begin each round with a magic ring, working in a spiral placing marker
to keep track of each round.

2. Crochet tightly, if you find your stitches are loose try a smaller hook
size.

3. Stuff your toy with the poly fill as you go using the stick, making sure
you stuff firmly. This will assure your toy keeps it shape.

the eyes. Do not add small decorations such as buttons etc if for a small
child.
