The stingray is worked from the tip of the tail forward to the nose. The body is shaped by decreases, and it’s worked in two flat pieces: the top with the bobbles to shape the eyes, and the bottom. This pattern requires you to be able to work a variety of increases and decreases.

Feel free to sub whatever yarn you think you would like to use, just be sure to adjust your needles accordingly. A tighter gauge than recommended makes for a better stuffed toy.
