Materials Needed

You will need:

• 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)
• Pink DK Yarn – Approx. 10m

Stitches and Abbreviations Used

(US terminology is used)

• 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)
• FLO - Front Loop Only
• YO - Yarn Over
• ST - Stitch
• SLST - Slip stitch

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 parentheses 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 brackets [ ] are worked into one stitch.
• Remember to stuff the product little and often as you work.
