INSTRUCTIONS

Front and Back (make alike)

Note: Ch 2 at beg of rnd does not counts as st.

Do not join st at end of rnd. Cont in a spiral pattern. Move marker as you work in rnds.

2nd rnd: Ch 2 (does not count as st). 2 dcbp around each st around. Move marker. 16 sts.

3rd rnd: Ch 2. *1 dcbp around next st. 2 dcbp around next st. Rep from * around. Move marker. 24 sts.

4th rnd: Ch 2. *2 dcbp around next st. 1 dcbp around each of next 2 sts. Rep from * around. Move marker. 32 sts.

5th rnd: Ch 1. *2 dcbp around next st. 1 dcbp around each of next 3 sts. Rep from * around. Move marker. 40 sts.

6th rnd: Ch 2. 1 dcbp around each of first 2 sts. *2 dcbp around next st. 1 dcbp around each of next 4 sts. Rep from * to last 3 sts. 2 dcbp around next st. 1 dcbp around each of next 2 sts. Move marker. 48 sts.

7th rnd: Ch 2. *2 dcbp around next st. 1 dcbp around each of next 5 sts. Rep from * around. Move marker. 56 sts.

8th rnd: Ch 2. 1 dcbp in each of next 3 sts. *2 dcbp around next st. 1 dcbp around each of next 6 sts. Rep from * to last 4 sts. 2 dcbp around next st. 1 dcbp around each of last 3 sts. Move marker. 64 sts.

9th rnd: Ch 2. *2 dcbp around next st. 1 dcbp around each of next 7 sts. Rep from * around. Move marker. 72 sts.

10th rnd: Ch 2. 1 dcbp around first 4 sts. *2 dcbp around next st. 1 dc around each of next 8 sc. Rep from * to last 5 sc. 2 dcbp around next st. 1 dc in each of last 4 sts. Move marker. 80 sts.

11th rnd: Ch 2. *2 dcbp around next st. 1 dcbp around each of next 9 sts. Rep from * around. Move marker. 88 sts.

12th rnd: Ch 2. 1 dcbp around each of next 5 sts. *2 dcbp around next st. 1 dcbp around each of next 10 sts. Rep from * to last 6 sts.
2 dcbp around next st. 1 dcbp around each of next 6 sc. 96 sts. Fasten off.

Join Front and Back: With WS tog, join yarn with sl st to any st. Ch 1. Working through both thicknessess, 1 sc in each st around, leaving approx 7” (18 cm) opening. Insert stuffing. Crochet opening closed. Fasten off.
