NOTES

Parts of this pattern are worked in a continuous spiral without closing off each round with a ss. You may find it helpful to mark the first st of the round, moving it up as you go. If you are making this for a child under 36 months, do not use safety eyes; instead, embroider eyes with black stranded cotton.
