Materials:
WW yarn in blue, beige/tan (I used Red Heart "Aran"), white, red, and a bit of black
Size F (#5 or 3.75 mm) crochet hook
Yarn Needle
Polyester fiberfill (pillows work just as well!)
Scissors Felt in White and Black
Gauge isn't that important, so long as your stitches are tight and the stuffing won't show or fall out.
The (parentheses) at the end of each Rnd/Row indicate the number of stitches at the end of that Rnd/Row.
I work in continuous rounds (aka spiral rounds), but if you prefer to join at the end of each round that's fine. I also decrease in front loops only because I've heard that it makes the decrease stitch less visible.
If you don't know what a Magic Ring is don't panic! It's also called Magic Loop or Magic Circle. Here's an alternative: If the pattern says 6 sc in Magic Ring you can ch 2 and 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook and join stitches. I prefer working with a Magic Ring because you can pull it as tight as you want so that the stuffing won't show. Just use whatever you feel most comfortable using.
