Snorelax Crochet
This is by far my most complex pattern yet! Don’t let all of the steps
and color changes scare you away from trying it. I’ve tried to format
the pattern to make the more complicated rounds easier to
understand by breaking them down into smaller steps.
MATERIALS:
Medium – 4 worsted weight yarn in:
Navy blue, for the body
Cream, for the body
Brown, for the feet
Black for the face
White for the claws
Tapestry needle big enough to fit your yarn
Toy Stuffing

TERMS:
CH: Chain
CTB: Change to Blue
CTC: Change to Cream
FL INC: Front Loop Increase
FO: Finish off
INC: Increase (Single Crochet 2 in 1 stitch) INV DEC: Invisible
decrease
RNDS: Rounds
SC: Single Crochet
SLST: Slip stitch
ST: Stitch
In this pattern you will see some rounds with a, b, c etc,
parts. This is because the round requires several changes
and listing them as a, b, c etc. makes it easier to
understand where those changes occur.
