General Notes:
- This pattern is worked in continuous spiral rounds unless otherwise noted.
- This pattern utilizes standard US Crochet Terms.
- I do not utilize 'turning chains' when creating rows of single crochet stitches.  If you find it necessary to ch-1 at turn, this will count as your 1st stitch.

Features can vary on each project.  Photo utilizes a ‘corner’ of the Head/Body so in using a long whipstitch to emphasize the corner, creates the appearance of a ‘nose’. Play with your positioning of your Coal’s features to create the optimal look you want.
