The toy pieces are crocheted in continious non-joing rounds.

Finished toy measures about 19 cm (7.48 inches) in case of using the
materials listed. My stitches have a semi X-shape. If your stitches have V-
shape, then your toy will be bigger. The difficulty level - medium. This
pattern doesn’t include any crochet lessons. You must know how to crochet
main stitches. The legs and the body are crocheted as one piece. The arms
are attached when crocheting the body. The collar is removable.

Head details

1 2 3

Embroider the nose with the main thread Alize Cotton Gold. Divide it into 4 thin
strands. Embroider the nose under the 15th round of the head (count from the top).
Make 4 horizontal stitches (the stitch length is 3 sc), then make the nessesary
number of vertical stitches until the nose is convex.
(See photo 1-3)

12
 Sew the eyes under the round 14 (count from
top), step 2 stitches from the nose to both
sides.
Pay attention, that I don’t make any special
needle sculpting for the eyes. BUT! I pull the
threads tightly when sewing them and in this
way the eyes are sunk into the head and they
look beautifully.

Embroider the eye whites and the eyelids

(See page 14).

Embroider the eyebrows above the eyes.

(I use brown thread YarnArt Jeans, divide it
into 4 strands.)

Make embroidery under the eyes with Gazzal

baby cotton thread, divide it into 5 strands,
using 2 strands.

Add blushes to the cheeks.

Sew the hat to the head, placed it as shown in the photo. Sew it with a cream thread
YarnArt Jeans, dividing it into 4 thin strands, using 2 strands. Sew it on the front loop
of the 11th round of the hat.

Embroider the eye whites with the thread of cream color

(If you are going to use safety eyes, then you need to make
special needle sculpting for the eyes. See photos 1-3.)

 Toy assembly

Sew the head to the body, having fixed it

with pins.

Add stuffing to the space between the body

and the head while sewing. So the head
would be fixed much better.

Collar

In green color: ch26, from the third ch from the

crochet hook crochet 4 DC in one ch, skip one ch,
into the next ch crochet sc, skip one ch, into the next
ch 5 DC, skip one ch, into the next ch crochet sc, skip
one ch, into the next ch 5 DC, thus crochet to the
end of the chain. Cut the thread.

Collar pattern

Now we are going to crochet the fasteners.
Attach a terracotta thread, ch45, turn the chain, find the bumpson its other side.
Insert the crochet hook under these bumps crochet from the second ch from the hook
44 sl st. Don’t pull the loops tightly. The first fastener is finished.

Crochet 23 sc along the collar

base.

Crochet the second fastener in the

same way as the first.

For decorative stitching, use a cream thread YarnArt Jeans. Work on the left side of
the collar. Insert the hook under the first loop, bring the thread out, insert the hook
under the second loop, bring the thread out and crochet sl st, in this way crochet sl st
to the end of the collar (I crocheted 34 sl st). Weave in the thread tails.
