You will need:

- 1.75 mm crochet hook;

- yarn: Yarnart Jeans White Color 62, Red Color 90;

- Scissors, stitch marker or scrap piece of yarn;

- soft stuffing;

- yarn needle.

You can use the same pattern to make larger or smaller toys by using finer or bulkier yarn. Also you can use a different color yarn. Pick a crochet hook at least a size smaller than suggested on yarn label and crochet tightly enough to achieve a tight gauge that will not allow the stuffing to show through the fabric.

STEM Use white color yarn.

To keep track of the beginning of the rounds, use a stitch marker.

Round 1: mr, sc 6 = [6]
Round 2-5 (4 rounds): sc in each st around =[6]
Round 6: inc x 6 = [12] Finish with sl st.
Stuff the stem firmly. Cut off and secure the yarn.
