Terms used in this pattern.
SC = Single Crochet
Inc = 2SC in the same stitch
Dec = 2SC together ( Go into the front loop of the first stitch and the second stitch and the finish of the SC creating a invisible and neat decrease.)
To stuff the toy, I normally start at the decreases and continue to add more as I go until I reach the penultimate row. Stuff until firm and then do the last row of decreases and finish.
