The pattern is written in English, using US crochet terminology. I included detailed instructions, many step-by-step photos and useful tips and notes.

For this pattern you need to have basic crochet and amigurumi skills and to know how to read crochet patterns.
You need to know the following crochet terms:

hdc = half double crochet stitch (UK= half treble crochet stitch)

Size about 6.7inches (17cm) height with semi cotton yarn and a 1.75 mm crochet hook

You can use the same pattern to make larger or smaller toys by using finer or bulkier yarn. Pick a crochet hook at least a size smaller than suggested on yarn label and crochet tightly enough to achieve a tight gauge that will not allow the stuffing to show through the fabric.
