MATERIALS

Yarn

Hook

Needle

Stuffing

YarnArt Jeans grey (49) and blue (15) 10x10cm (4''x4'') = 24R/20SC

1,75mm (the hook recommended for this yarn is 3,5mm but I use a smaller one for thicker

stitches)

polyfill

ABBREVIATIONS (US)

sc - single crochet in next stitch

inc - increase (two sc in one stitch)

dec - decrease (two stitches made together into one sc). Use invisible decrease (crochet through front loops only)

ch - chain stitch

sc tbl - sc through back loop only

inc tbl - inc through back loops only

sl - slip stitch

The number after the abbreviation means how many times the stitch should be done (for instance sc 4 = sc,sc, sc, sc). The lack of the number means that the stitch should be done once.

Sequences in brackets should be done as many times as the number after the asterisk says - for instance(inc, sc 2)*4 = inc, sc2, inc, sc2, inc, sc2, inc, sc2.
