The total amount of yarn is about a quarter ounce (7 g), mostly in the main face color with a small amount in 2-3 other colors, depending on which style eye you use. Photos show each round along the way and clarification points.

Stitches and techniques assumed: slip knot, chain, slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet and its decrease, triple crochet, stitching in back loop only, single crochet color change and for taller stitches, weaving in ends, attaching new yarn with slip stitch, magic ring.

Taught in pattern: needle join, in particular in second stitch after end; triple treble crochet; linked triple crochet. This video from Mooglyblog will give you a view of the linked triple crochet, but it doesn’t translate entirely because she pulls loops up through bars that only exist if you make a row of LTR starting from a turning chain. In this you’ll have to pull your loops up through a standard tr; a diagram of suggested locations is given in the pattern.

The story of this pattern is on the blog.
