Copyright 2023



Materials: #4 worsted weight yarn, approx 300 yards

                   Polyfibre fill

                   E 3.5mm hook for worsted weight (or whatever size you used to make Jax)

                   Needle for sewing in ends and attaching pieces

                   Stitch markers

                   

Stitch Guide: sl: slip stitch

                        ch: chain

                        sk: skip

                        st: stitch

                        yo: yarn over

                        mc: main colour

                        ac: accent colour

                        blo: back loop only

                        flo: front loop only

                        sc: single crochet

                        sc incr: single crochet increase

                        hdc: half double crochet

                        hdc incr: half double crochet increase

                        dc: double crochet

                        dc incr: double crochet increase


Special Instructions: I suggest using the invisible dec wherever it says in the pattern to do a dec, it helps with the overall look of the item, and helps to reduce stuffing showing through on those rows/rounds


Gauge is not important with this item, changing the hook or yarn size will simply change the size of the finished piece, just make sure you use appropriate size hook for your yarn
