Scissors
ABBREVIATIONS (US Crochet Terms)

sl st: slip stitch
MR: Magic Ring
ch: chain

inc: increase: 2sc (make 2 sc in the same space)
dec: decrease (sc2tog) – Use Invisible Decrease for better result. Using invisible decrease (dec) instead of sc2tog is recommended when making amigurumi; you can’t even tell that the stitches are decreasing. To do Invisible Decrease, insert hook through front loop of the first stitch, then through the front loop of the next stitch (3 loops on hook). Yarn over and draw through the first two loops on the hook (2 loops on hook now). Yarn over and draw through both loops on the hook. Invisible decrease completed.
B: Bobble stitch: Yarn over (YO), insert your hook into the stitch, pull up a loop, YO and pull through 2 loops; repeat this 3 more times in the same stitch, then YO and pull through all 5 loops on the hook.
R: Round
[#]: number of stitch(es) in a round

This pattern is worked in the round. Join each round with a slip stitch.
