How to read the pattern
● You need at least a novice level of skills to use this pattern.
● Spiral knitting, unless otherwise indicated in the text.
● The total number of loops that should result in a particular row is indicated at the end of each row in brackets ().
● Knit on both sides of the loop, unless otherwise indicated.
● Be sure to use a marker or piece of yarn to mark the beginning of the row.
● I use synthetic fluff as a filler for my products.
● The color change of the yarn is indicated in the text of the description.
The size of the finished product depends on using a different yarn or hook size, as well as an individual knitting density. Yarn from the same manufacturer, but from a different batch may have color deviations. Keep this in mind if you are short of yarn.
Before starting to knit, read the description to the end.
