‣ Number of stitches indicated between <xx>

‣ Mark every first stitch with a stitch marker because we’re going to work in a continuous round.

‣ Weave in any excess yarn 

✿ Materials I used

1. Any yarn that is suitable with 3mm hook

- I’d recommend that you use a velvet/chenille yarn. It would look much prettier with this yarn. However, any type of yarn would do but it has to be suitable with 3mm crochet hook.

2. 3mm crochet hook

3. Darning needle

4. Scissors

5. Stuffing

6. Optional:

- Glue for the bow and face

- For the eyes and nose, I used a felt fabric and cut it. Then, glue it on the face. If you don’t have any fabric you can sew it on.

Leg

Use an X stitch single crochet for all body parts.

Round 1: I did a fake magic ring, but if you’re not comfortable with using a fake magic ring you can go ahead and make the real magic ring. Ch 2, start in the 2nd stitch and insert 6sc into the 2nd stitch. 

Round 2: Inc x 6 <12>

Round 3 - 5: Insert 1sc in each st <12>

Round 4: (Inc, 4sc) x 5 <30>

★ Fasten off. Repeat and make one more.

Body / Head

Round 6: In this round we’ll join the legs and continue with the rest of the body / head. 

I will categorise the two legs as A and B. The first leg being A and the second is B.

Ch 1 anywhere in Leg A and insert 1sc in the same st as the ch 1. Then, insert 1sc in Leg B and continue making 10sc on the same leg. Then, make sc2tog (in the last stitch of Leg B and in Leg A where we have the ch 1). Then, continue with 11sc. <24>

Round 7: (Inc, 3sc) x 6 <30>

Round 8 - 17: Insert 1sc in each st <30>

Round 18: (Dec, 3sc) x 6 <24>

★ Continue with the ears without cutting your yarn.

Ears

Round 19: 1sc, 1sc through both stitches which is the front and back (make sure it’s the centre of the back stitch), then 1sc all around making the first ear <12>

Round 20 - 23: Insert 1sc in each st <12>

Round 24: Dec x 6 <6>

★ Fasten off and sew the hole close. For the left ear, repeat the same step but attach the yarn first by chaining 1. You will have to attach the yarn beside the centre where we have make 1sc through both stitches.

Hands

Round 1: I did a fake magic ring, but if you’re not comfortable with using a fake magic ring you can go ahead and make the real magic ring. Ch 2, start in the 2nd stitch and insert 8sc into the 2nd stitch. 

Round 2 - 6: Insert 1sc in each st <8>

★ Fasten off by making a sl st into the first st, ch 1 and cut your yarn (leave a long tail for sewing). Pull the end to tighten up the ch 1. 

Bows

Ch how long you want the chains to be. I chained until it’s 12cm long. The longer the chains the easier it is for to tie it into a bow. Then, tie it into a small bow. Pull the excess chains to match with the other end but leave one extra chain to secure it. Next, cut your yarn. I recommend that you glue both ends so that it won’t unravel. Lastly, glue the bow on the side of the ears. Repeat for the other side. 

Face

For the face, I recommend that you watch the tutorial. I explained in detail on how to cut the felt and where the placement for the eyes and nose.

You’re done! I’m so proud of you!!
