Written pattern

Written by the designer in US terms, round by round, with the stitch count after each round and the assembly at the end.

Sunny the Smiling Flower
Skill level: easy.
DK weight yarn (CYC 3), 3 mm hook. US terms. Work round pieces in a continuous spiral; mark the first stitch of each round. Work the scarf back and forth in rows. Keep the start of each round at the centre back: the assembly notes count from there, with the front opposite it.
Estimated gauge: 17 sc and 18 rounds per 10 cm. Check with a sample before relying on the dimensions.
sc = single crochet, ch = chain, inc = 2 sc in the same stitch, dec = invisible decrease, st = stitch, Rnd = round
Stitch maths checked: every round uses exactly the stitches of the round before.
Colours: green, yellow, red, blue, blush, brown.
Yarn (an estimate with 15% spare): about 32 m green, about 38 m yellow, about 60 m red, about 60 m blue, about 2 m blush, about 1 m brown.
Safety eyes: 2 x 14 mm (dark red).
Also: stuffing, a stitch marker and a yarn needle.

Stitch numbers count from the first stitch of a round: keep a marker in it, with the round start at the centre back.
