Gauge & instructions
Gauge isn’t important as long as you make sure to use the appropriate hook for your yarn so that the stuffing doesn’t show through the stitches. All parts are worked continuously so that you don’t have to join at the beginning of each round. Be careful to count the stitches as you go or use a marker.
Instructions

Round 1) With yellow, work 6 sc in a magic ring and join to work in the round (6)
Round 2) 2sc around (12)
