Finished Size:
If made with recommended yarn and needles,
the finished size is a bit smaller, or around 1
inch.
Gauge:
None! Just make sure your stitches aren't
all that loose so the stuffing won't poke
right through.
Difficulty:
Intermediate
This is because it uses some
techniques that involve changing
certain stitches frequently.
