NOTES:
1. Read instructions all the way through before beginning.
2. When joining with a slip stitch, pull the slip stitch tight.
3. All sizes are made with the same pattern. The different yarns and hook sizes make it the different sizes. Yarns I used in developing this pattern: Woman’s Red Heart Super Saver, Tween/Teen’s Simply Soft, and Child’s Red Heart Sport.
4. If you don't want to make a bullion for the body, you can use one of the methods I used on the Butterfly Garden caps.
