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.
