Other things to note....

·      This pattern is worked in continuous rounds. It is helpful to use a stitch marker to keep track.

·      The number in ( ) at the end of each round indicates the total stitch count for that round.

·      *  * indicates repeated series of stitches. 

·      Use invisible decreases for a neater finished product. This is done by using the FLO of the stitches while making the decrease. 

·      Stitches in [ ]  are worked into one stitch.

       ·      Remember to stuff the product little and often as you work.
