I love the pattern it looks very easy to do now all I have to do is try and learn the magic loop though if I can't get the hang of the magic loop would slip stitch to the beg chain be ok

[chessie]

What a cutie!! Thanks so much for sharing your pattern!

[ctawq]

Yes, the standard chain 2 then put all the begining single crochets in the 2nd ch from the hook. I make my amigurumi in the sprial style so the only sl st you will be doing is in the finish off.
