Pattern Notes

This is a beginner level pattern.

Gauge is not critical for this project, but different measurements may result in different yarn and stuffing amounts needed; keep sts tight to prevent stuffing from showing through fabric.

Cushion is worked using amigurumi method: wor sts continuously in a spiral without closing each round with a sss. Pm in first st of round, moving it up as you go.
Main Croissant is worked double stranded throughout and consists of 5 parts; start with Section 1 and join next Section to unworked back loops of previous worked parts.
Beret and Cheeks are worked separately single stranded and joined after finishing Croissant, then Eye embroidery is added.

The written pattern and schematic for the Cuddly Croissant Cushion appears in YARN Bookazine 17 - Patisserie, published by Scheepjes. YARN Bookazine is available in print in both UK English and Dutch language and is available from Scheepjes retailers.
