Notes

This pattern is written in US terminology.
For Amigurumi allways use a hook that is smaller than the size recommended for your yarn weight. This will ensure that your stuffing will not show through the stitches.
The toy is worked in one piece and in the round. Use a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of each round.
Body requires stuffing. Stuff as you work to ensure the piece is completely filled.
Never leave a child unattended with this toy!

How To Use The Lifebuoy Toy

This crocheted lifebuoy can be used on its own, as a teether or rattle. You can change the colours and swap the red wool for dark blue or orange, for example.

The perfect thing about this lifebuoy is that it fits and can be worn over many of the toys in my offer, so you can mix and match it any way you like.
