UPDATE 2015:

please note that this is one of my older patterns designed in 2012. I’ve learned so much as a designer since then and while this pattern has been used and loved by many there are things I would have done differently to make this an easier pattern. I looked it over this year (2015) and have decided that one day in the future I will design another but for now please be advised this pattern should be used by those
with some experience working with crochet thread and with amigurumi. I hope you enjoy the pattern as it is.
