Small amount of 8ply yarn

4.00mm hook
Black embroidery thread for eyebrows
8mm safety eyes

Stuffing

Notes : Legs torso and head are all worked in one piece. Arms
and ears are sewn on later. It is easier to fill with stuffing as
you move up the body before decreasing begins.

Begin with first leg,
Chain 2 Work 6sc in 2
nd
chain from hook
Work in rounds, do not join
Round 2: 2sc in each st around 12 sc
Round 3: 1sc in next 2 sts Inc in next st repeat 16sc
Round 4-8 sc in each st around
Sl to finish that leg and cut yarn.
Second leg,
Work the same as first leg but do not cut yarn
With both legs together work 4 slip stitches along joining the
two legs together. At this point you should have 28 sc in the
round. Then you will continue to work 8 rounds until you have
reached the neck.
Decrease in every st there will be 14 sc
Next round Decrease in each st again there should be 7 sc left.
Work 3 sc in each st around 21 sc
Next round sc in next 2 sts then inc in next repeat until the end
of the round 28sc
Work 9 rounds
Decrease in every st around 14 sc
Decrease again in the same way 7sc
Slip st to join.Leaving a long tail to sew up the head after
stuffing.

Chain 2, 6sc in 2
nd

Work in rounds, do not join
Round 2: 2sc in each st around 12 sc
Round 3: 1sc in next 2 sts Inc in next st repeat 16sc
Work 7 rounds slip st to join Cut yarn leaving a long tail for
sewing.
Ears: Make 2
Ch 5 slip st to join
Ch 2 Work 11 dc into ring ch 2 slip st back into ring
Cut yarn leaving a long tail to sew.



Using picture as a guide sew eyebrows on and also add a
heart button if you want ; Also put eyes and nose on before
decreasing on the head. It can be done the other way but it
gets very fiddly.
I hope this makes sense I have never even been able to read
crochet patterns until this year and now I am trying to write
one. Once again Good luck and enjoy!!
