Read me ~> Work in continuous rounds, do not join. I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn with a 4.0 mm hook. If you crochet more on the loose side then use a smaller hook so you don't get gaps and stuffing showing through the stitches. Have any questions or if you come across a mistake in the pattern please leave a message in the comment section below.
Read me ~> How to read the rows: Each row has a sequence as given below. Example: 1sc then 2sc in next st means repeat that sequence 1sc then 2sc in next st followed by 1sc then 2sc in next st over and over to the end of that particular row. The number inside the parentheses ( ~ ) is the number of stitches you should have at the end of that particular row.
Read me ~> Add in a marker at the end of row 2 and move that marker at the end of every row. I just use a short length of yarn and pull it through the last stitch I put in at the end of every row.
Supplies:
Red Heart worsted weight acrylic yarn
4.0 mm hook *use a smaller hook if you see gaps in your stitches
blunt end yarn needle for sewing
scissors
100% polyester stuffing
fabric glue
optional ~ felt for behind the eyes
you can use buttons, a french knot or paint eyes on. I used safety eyes that I glued in place.
Abbreviations:
st = stitch
sc = single crochet
2tog = crochet 2 stitches together
f/o = finish off
dc = double crochet (used only for toes and thumbs and is optional)
