PATTERN NOTES
Marshmallow is knit in the round from the bottom up, beginning with his legs. Each leg is worked separately, and stitches are then cast on to join the legs and create his body. The body is worked in the round up to the neck, then his head is created. His arms and ears are knit separately and sewn to the body and head. His sweater is knit in the round from the bottom up.
