Barry the Beaver!
You will need:
· Yarn needle
· Soft toy filling
· 9mm safety eyes
· 3mm crochet hook (This pattern can be made with any size yarn and hook. I recommend using a hook 1 size smaller than suggested on the yarn)
· DK Yarn – Approx. 140m
o Sirdar Snuggly DK – Soft Brown
o Hayfields Bonus DK – Dark Brown
o Hayfields Bonus DK – White
Stitches and abbreviations used: (US terminology)
· MR - Magic ring (sc unless otherwise specified)
· Ch - Chain
· SC - Single crochet
· Inc - Increase stitch (2 single crochets into one stitch)
· Dec - Decrease stitch (single crochet 2 stitches together)
· DC – Double Crochet
· YO – Yarn Over
· ST - Stitch
· SLST - Slip stitch
· R – Round or Row
· FO - Finish Off
Other things to note....
· Most of 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.
· Changing colour – complete the stitch before the colour change by working the last yarn over of the stitch with the new colour.
· Stitches in [ ] are worked into one stitch.
· Remember to stuff the product little and often as you work.
