Arms Make 2
Work the same as the legs but skip row 9.
Also at the end, do another row of 10 and 11 of black.
Fasten off and leave enough black yarn to sew arms onto body.
Tail:
starting from the tip of the tail
In black
(1) 6 sc into magic loop, tighten loop (6 st)
(2) [2 sc in each stitch ]
(12 st)
(3) [1sc into each of next 5 sc, 2 sc into the next sc] 2 times (14 st)
(4-5) work even in orange
(6-7) work even in black
Repeat Rows 4-7 until you have 13 orange stripes and 13 black stripes
Then add another stripe of orange (rows 4-5)
Fasten off and leave enough orange yarn to sew to body.
Belly Band.
Don't get scared off this section
His tummy patch is simply an oval.
If you know how to make one then just skip this section totally.
In reality ovals are very simple...(it's the written instructions that make them seem complicated
to make especially as you add new rounds.)
All the increases in an oval are at the ends.
The straight sides have no increases.
I'll give you written instructions for the first round since it is easy,
then I'll show you visually where the increases go for the next rounds
Ch 16 in white
Round 1:
Remember to mark your first stitch with marker
Starting in 2nd chain from hook sc 14, 3sc in last st.
Rotate work around and start working on other side of chain.
Sc 13, make 2sc in last st.
5/32
11/10/12
Now crochet that row putting increases only in those places. (6 in total)
Every other stitch will be worked evenly..don't forget to put a sc in between those increases.
Round 3: Again mark your two centre stitches...count down 3 stitches on both side...that is where
your increases go.
Every other place gets a sc.
Round 4; Mark your two centre stitches...count down 4 stitches on both side...that is where your
increases go. Every other place gets a sc
For me 4 rounds fit Hobbes nicely but if you want it larger just
continue moving those side increases down a stitch for each round.
Putting the body together
Stuff the body and sew on the belly band.
Stuff the arms and legs but only stuff the joint area lightly as
you want to make him bendable.
Use yarn to sew on the appendages.
Sew head onto body adding stuffing if needed.
Pick him up, give him a hug!
