The difficulty level of the pattern is easy.
I use US terminology in this pattern.
ARMS:
Start crocheting with the nude color.
- 1. 5 sc into a magic ring (5)
- 2. 5 inc (10)
- 3. 10 sc
Change the yarn to pink color.
- 4-8. 10 sc (5 rounds)
Make a sl st, fasten off, and cut the yarn, leaving a tail for sewing.
You can stuff only the lower part of the arms.
Sew the arms to the sides of the body in round 15.
BODY:
Crochet with the pink yarn.
- 1. 8 sc into a magic ring (8)
- 2. 8 inc (16)
- 3. (sc, inc)*8 (24)
- 4. (2 sc, inc)*8 (32)
- 5. (3 sc, inc)*8 (40)
- 6. Back loops only: 40 sc
- 7. (7 sc, inc)*5 (45)
- 8-15. 45 sc (8 rounds)
Now we will make a finishing round:
BODY:
- 16. (sc, turn your work around)*45 (45) (Or you can make a simple 45 sc)
Make a sl st, fasten off, and cut the yarn.
Hide it inside the body or leave a tail for sewing.
Now attach the pink yarn to the front loops that are left in round 6. Crochet 40 sc with the body turned upside down. Make a sl st, fasten off, and hide the yarn inside.
You can fill the body with fiberfill or leave it empty to use it as a holder.
BEARD:
Wrap the white yarn around your fingers many times.
Tie a knot around the yarn on one of the sides and cut the yarn on the opposite side.
You can leave it like that and trim it to the desired length and shape.
Or you can use a very thin comb (I use an animal brush) and separate the yarn into its threads.
Sew the beard to the body in round 15.
Nose:
Crochet with the nude yarn.
- 1. 6 sc into a magic ring (6)
- 2. 6 inc (12)
- 3. (2 sc, dec)*3 (9)

Stuff lightly if you want. Sew the nose over the beard in rounds 13-15.

If you want, you can fill the hat with fiberfill and sew it to the body in the loops of round 20.
FLOWERS:
Make as many flowers as you want.
Little flowers:
