Mo the Moose Crochet Pattern
MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT:
ABBREVIATIONS:
The pattern is written in US crochet terms.
- ch(-s). – chain(s)
- sc – single crochet
- Rnd(s) – round(s)
- st(s). – stitch(es)
- st. – slip stitch
- incr – increase (2 sc worked into 1 ch)

DESCRIPTION:
- All details are worked in spiral rounds without joining, unless otherwise stated.
- The finished amigurumi is about 7” tall, if made with indicated yarn weight and hook size.
