NOTES:
Snugglepuff is worked in 13 pieces: Body, 2 Cheeks, 2 Arms, 2 Feet, 2 Outer Ears, 2 Inner Ears, a Face Patch, and a Belly Patch.
Body, Cheeks, Arms, and Feet are worked in continuous rnds (spiral). Do not join first st of rnds to last st with a sl st.
Do not turn at the beg of rnds.
Outer Ears, Inner Ears, Face Patch and Belly Patch are worked back and forth in rows.
To change yarn color when working in rnds, fasten off old color then draw up a loop of new color in same st as joining sl st, as instructed.
To change yarn color when working in rows. Work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete st.
Proceed with new color.
Fasten off old color.
Work tightly with a small hook so stuffing wouldn't show through.
Details are embroidered onto piece.

This piece is not a toy.
The small pieces can present a choking hazard.
