 If you use different yarn, the toy will be bigger or smaller and you will need    action 3 times, that is 3 sc, 1 inc, 3
 more or less yarn and wire than stated in the pattern (i.e. thicker yarn will     sc, 1 inc, 3 sc, 1 inc.
 produce a larger toy and you may require more yarn).

Tip (gauge)
When making toys, you should use a much smaller hook than recommended
for the yarn you choose.
Make sure you crochet tight enough; otherwise, the stuffing will show
through the holes.

not completely ‘thread’ in place, drop some

If fishing line is flexible: fold each piece in
half and make a loop as shown in the pic.

 you decide to give it to a child. Also, if you decide to sell your finished project, remember to include
 warning for people purchasing it.
