Squirrel Pattern

This is one of the first amigurumis I made. I don't think it's so cute, but I'm sure if you make it, you will have a great result.

In case you make it, please show me what you did!! I would love to!!

The final height is about 10 cms (4 inches), but it will depend on the kind of yarn you use. :)
Also, you can use the colour you want. I used white because I was asked to do it white :D

What you should know:
st=stitch
sc=single crochet
sl st= slip stitch
dec=decrease (crocheting two stitches together)
ch=chain

Let's start!

Head:
Make the magic ring, or make 2 ch (depending on what you prefer the most. I prefer the magic ring)
Round 1: Work 6 sc in the ring (or in the second ch).
Round 2: 2sc in each st around (12)
