Gauge & instructions
Gauge isn’t important; make sure to use the appropriate hook for your yarn so that the stuffing isn’t visible. All parts are worked continuously, you don’t have to join at the beginning of each round so count the stitches as you go or use a stitch marker.

*The swing is meant to hang with the amigurumi agaisn’t a wall for balance. If you mean to have the amigurumi hanging « free », you may have to sew it in the nest and sew the cord to each side of the amigurumi to avoid it flipping over.
