Notes:
DO NOT join rounds unless otherwise noted. Use a scrap of yarn or stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round.
Leave a 10” tail for all body parts. You will use this when you sew the animal together.
You don’t need to weave in your beginning ends just stuff them into the body parts.
A great place to find tips to make animals is here
Fill with stuffing so it’s full enough that you get a fairly firm shape but not too full that you are over stretching the fabric.
