Body Instructions:
Making The Core Structure:
Start with the Darker Shade: Create a magic ring with your darker shade of yarn.
- Round 1: Work eight single crochet (SC) stitches into the magic ring. Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch.
- Round 2: Crochet in the back loops only for this round, making one SC in each back loop for a total of eight stitches. In the last SC, switch to your main color yarn.
Continue with Main Color:
- Round 3: Begin with two SC, then proceed with decreases by working only in the front loops.
- Rounds 4-7: Follow the pattern of single crochets and decreases as detailed, adjusting the stitch count accordingly for each round.
Making The Legs:
- Front and Back Legs Pattern: Repeat the steps for creating four legs, noting the variation for the hind legs in Round 8, where you need to increase stitches to shape them differently.
- Finalizing The Legs: Attach the legs to the body as directed, ensuring the fiber fill is added for shape before closing.
Finishing The Body:
- Carefully follow the instructions for closing up the body, stuffing as necessary, and attaching the legs and head securely. The tail is added last by creating a small chained piece that is then sewn on.
Embroidery and Facial Features:
- Nose and Mouth: Use embroidery floss to carefully stitch the nose and mouth onto the face.
- Eyes: Either embroider the eyes with the same floss or securely attach safety eyes for the final touch.
