Supplies

One skein Red Heart Super Saver in Black

Small amount of Red Heart Super Saver in Warm Brown

Size F or G Crochet hook (depending on your tension)

Polyfil or other type of stuffing

All parts of this pattern are worked in the round. It is your choice whether to join your rounds or to work in a continuous spiral. I highly recommend a stitch marker (this can be a safety pin, a swivel clip keychain, or just a piece of scrap yarn) to keep track of your rows if you work in a spiral.
