Special stitch instructions:

Invisible decrease:

1. Insert the hook into the **front loop** of the first stitch (2 loops on hook). **Do NOT yarn over**
2. Insert the hook into the **front loop** of the next stitch. In order to do this, you’ll need to swing the hook down first so you can insert the hook under the front loop. (3 loops on hook)
3. Yarn over & draw through the first two loops on the hook. (2 loops on hook)
4. Yarn over & draw through both loops on the hook. You’ve done your invisible decrease.

Changing Color

When making the toy you will need to change between colors. To change color, work the last YO of the previous st in the new color as this loop will form the ‘lid’ of the next st.
