Head and Body

Crochet with milk color:

1. 8 sc in MR
2. 8 inc (16)

In the next round, you will have a color change, please pay attention to this!

3. With Brown: 3 sc, inc, 3 sc; With Milk: 1 sc, in the same stitch work 3 unfinished DC with a common top (DC 3 together); With Brown: (3 sc, inc) x 2 (20)

Cut the milk colored yarn, you won’t need it anymore.

4. 4-6) 20 sc (3 rounds)

Place 9 mm eyes between rounds 4 and 5. The distance between the eyes is 3 sc.

Place the 9×7 mm nose in the third round, in the milk-colored muzzle area.

7. 7) (2 sc, dec) x 5 (15)
8. 8) (1 sc, dec) x 5 (10)

Work a sl st for a neater finish.

Stuff the toy completely. Close the opening using the front loops of the stitches.

Ears

We crochet the first ear from the bottom towards the top of the head. The second one will be crocheted in reverse.

Skip 3 sc from the eye sideways. Attach the yarn with a Sl st between rounds 6 and 7, into the next stitch crochet (hdc, 2 dc, hdc, sl st).

Cut the yarn, pull it through and hide it in the toy.

Note that we crochet the combination in parentheses into one stitch.

We crochet the second ear the same way, but we attach the yarn from the side of the head’s top and move downwards during crocheting.
