Main Body:
- Start with a magic ring. Single crochet 6 into the ring.
- Round 2: Increase in all stitches around (total of 12 stitches).
- Round 3: Increase in the first stitch, single crochet in the next. Repeat around (total of 18 stitches).
- Round 4: Increase single crochet in the next 2 stitches. Repeat around (total of 24 stitches).
- Round 5: Single crochet 8. Attach ears by single crocheting the next 5 stitches over the ear, starting from the front, to ensure the ear edges are included and look rounded. Repeat for the second ear. Complete the round by crocheting in the back loops of the last stitch.
- Round 6: Single crochet 23 in back loops only, then complete the last stitch in regular loops.
- Sew Down Ears: Use tails from ears to sew them securely against the body.
- Round 7: Start with a single crochet, then do a bobble stitch. Followed by single crochet 3, another bobble stitch, and end the round with single crochet 18.
- Round 8-9: Single crochet 24 around.
- Round 10: Single crochet 3 (or adjust to align bobble stitches for feet), make a bobble stitch for the first foot, single crochet 3, bobble stitch for the second foot. Single crochet to the end of the round, adjusting the count as needed to maintain 24 stitches.
- Round 11: Single crochet 24 around.
- Add Eyes and Nose: Use safety eyes and sew the nose with almond-colored yarn as preferred.
Finish the Body:
- Round 12-13: Continue decreasing per pattern instructions to shape the body, alternating decreasing and single crocheting rounds.
- Stuff the Body: As the body narrows, fill with stuffing before closing.
- Final Rounds/Tail: For the last rounds, focus on creating a tail, decreasing stitches, and ensuring the body is well-shaped and stuffed.
- Close Off: Use the tapestry needle to weave in ends securely and close the hole at the bottom.
Notes:
- Adjustments may be necessary for alignment, especially when adding features like the bobble stitch feet.
- For the eyes and nose, if this toy is intended for a young child, consider crocheting these parts instead of using safety eyes for safety.
- The tutorial suggests modifying colors and materials based on availability or preference.
