Special Instructions: I suggest using the invisible dec wherever it says in the pattern to do a dec, it on those rows/rounds helps with the overall look of the item, and helps to reduce stuffing showing through
Gauge simply is not important with this item, changing the hook or yarn size will change the size of the finished piece, just make sure you use the appropriate size hook for your yarn
