Gauge is not critical for this project, but different measurements may result in different yarn and stuffing amounts needed; keep sts tight to prevent stuffing from showing through fabric. Cushion is worked using amigurumi method: wor sts continuously in a spiral without closing each round with a sss. Pm in first st of round, moving it up as you go. Main Croissant is worked double stranded throughout and consists of 5 parts; start with Section 1 and join next Section to unworked back loops of previous worked parts. Beret and Cheeks are worked separately single stranded and joined after finishing Croissant, then Eye embroidery is added. *The written pattern and schematic for the Cuddly Croissant Cushion appears in YARN Bookazine 17 - Patisserie, published by Scheepjes.
