Stuffing

The yarn used in this project is the DMC Knitty 4 in shade #766 (a brownish yellow ochre type of color) and Monaco Acrylic in black and white.

This project is worked in rounds in a spiral manner so the use of stitch markers is needed. This project is also for a higher skill level since there is a lot of color changing.
