Special stitches: sc2tog = decrease by working two sc together
Single Crochet Decrease instruction (sc2tog)
A crochet decrease makes the current row or round that you are working on shorter than the one previous to it.
Insert hook into the first stitch.
Yarn over and draw through the loop.
Do not complete the stitch as normal.
Instead, insert the hook into the next stitch.
Yarn over and draw through the loop.
There should now be three loops on your hook
Yarn over and draw through all three loops on the hook
You should now have two single crochet stitches side-by-side, joined together into one stitch at the top.
Note:
When changing from one colour of yarn to another work the stitch before the change until there are two loops left on the hook. Then use the new colour for the final yarn over hook and pull through.
Every single part of the mouse can be started doing the magic ring.
