Assembly
To print the assembly only, Step 1: Make 12 of these. Holding 2 triangle pieces together, sew or crochet sides of triangles together to form a cone, leaving the top of both triangle pieces unworked. Stuff cone with fiberfill.

Step 2: Sew or crochet an oval piece to the top of the cone to close.

Step 3: Make 4 of these. Sew three of the cones together at the points of the ovals as indicated by the red dots. Tie the yarn tails of the three cones together. (In the illustration each blue line represents an oval at the top of a cone. The red dots indicate where to sew.)

Step 4: Attach each of the four pieces to each of the other pieces as indicated, tying yarn tails together.

beg - beginning
ch - chain
sc - single crochet
dc - double crochet
