• Size 4.0 & 4.5 mm hook
• Tapestry needle
• Plastic Headband (1 inch wide)

Stitches

• sc – single crochet
• inc – single crochet increase

• 5 dc bobble – yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yarn over, pull through the stitch, yarn over, pull through two loops on hook. Repeat until there are six loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through all six loops

Gauge

13 stitches and 10 rows per 4 inches

This pattern was made with the yarn under, yarn over technique.

After inserting your hook through the stitch grab the yarn so that it is under the hook (see picture) instead of wrapping it over the hook. This creates a shorter, denser stitch for amigurumi. It will affect gauge

The pattern is worked in continuous rounds, unless otherwise noted, like on the lilypad

The finished object from this pattern is not intended for children under 3
