• Make sure to know how to work the following stitches: magic circle, chain (ch), single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc), increase (inc), and decrease (dec).

Pattern:

Head and Body:

Begin with a double magic circle, place 6 sc inside the circle (6 sc).

1. Pull the circle tightly closed.
2. Round 2: Inc in each sc around (12 sc).
3. Round 3: (1 sc, inc) repeat around (18 sc).
4. Round 4: (1 sc in the next 2 stitches, inc) repeat around (24 sc).
5. Rounds 5-8: 1 sc in each stitch around (24 sc each round).
6. Ensure that you have 8 rounds completed.

Arms:

1. Round 9: Start with 1 sc, then slip stitch into the back loop of the next stitch. Chain 4, skip the first chain, and work 3 hdc (one in each remaining chain), then slip stitch into the same stitch where you started the chain.
2. Work 10 sc, make the second arm in the same manner as the first, then finish the round with 11 sc.

Eye Preparation:

Cut a piece of felt and make a small hole to insert the safety eye.

1. For extra reinforcement, cut a similar-sized piece of craft fuse and attach it to the back of the safety eye before placing it onto the fabric.
2. Attach the safety eye between the sixth and seventh rounds, making sure it is centered.
3. Stitch a mouth below the eye using embroidery floss.

Closing Head and Beginning Body:

1. Rounds 10-12: Continue to work sc around (24 sc each round).
2. Round 13: Work in back loops only, (3 sc, dec) repeat around.

Legs:

1. Round 14: (2 sc, dec) repeat around until you have two stitches left. Slip stitch in the back loop, chain 6.
2. Skip the first chain, hdc in the second chain, then 4 more hdc, one in each remaining chain.
3. Slip stitch into the same stitch where the chain started.
4. Complete the round with sc and dec as you did with the arms.

Finishing:

Round 15: (1 sc, dec) repeat around. Make sure to crochet into the front loop left from each previous round leg.

1. Stuff the body firmly.
2. Round 16: Continue with dec until you have closed the opening.
3. Cut the yarn leaving a long tail and thread through the remaining loops, pull tight, and weave in the end.
