Note:1. This pattern is making in Chinese crochet pattern terms, and the stitch name is written using American terminology. All measurements in charts are in cm. 
2. Working in joined round: When crocheting in rounds without further guidance, working in closed rounds, start each round with a set number of beginning chains and close with a slip stitch. The beginning chain preceding a single crochet and the slip stitch used for joining rounds are not included in the total stitches.

Note: ① The left and right in the chart refer to the toy's own left and right.
② Since small beads cannot have consistent hole diameters, if you encounter a situation where the hole is too small to thread, you can use a bead pin to make it.
