Things you need to know: (Read this section before starting pattern)
~ When you see asterisk, this means to repeat these stitches until the end of the round.
~ You will be working in continuous rounds, using a stitch marker is the easiest way to keep track. The only part that is not worked in the round will be the ears.
~ You want to make sure all pieces are right side out. It is important because the isc2tog (invisible single crochet two together) stitch will eliminate streaks on your amigurumi.
~ Must be familiar with the invisible single crochet two together (isc2tog) stitch.
~ Directions on how to assemble will be at the end of the pattern. I will attach a link for sewing your pieces together and on how to isc2tog.
~ The magic circle in the beginning of each round does not count as a round.
~ You will notice that my increase/decrease rounds change constantly. I do this so that the increase/decrease line isn’t obvious on your finished work. It creates a cleaner end look.

Finished Dimensions:
Approximately 11” tall- from top of head to bottom of legs
Materials:
Yarn – Worsted #4 Medium (recommend “I love this cotton” at Hobby Lobby) I recommend using cotton for amigurumi because it hardly has any stretch like other yarns.
Crochet hook 4mm or 3.5mm if you crochet loosely. You want to make sure your stitches are tight so you can’t see any holes or fiber fill.
Any color safety eyes 12mm (I used black)
Fiberfill stuffing
Yarn needle and scissors
Stitch markers (optional)
