Fasten off, weave the tail through the remaining front loops, pull tight to close, and hide the yarn end inside the body.

3. Crocheting the Ears

Ears are worked directly onto the head using the Main Color (MC). Hold the beaver facing you.

  1. Attach your yarn with a slip stitch to the 4th round of the head on the right side.
  2. Chain 3.
  3. Work 1 hdc in the 3rd chain from the hook.
  4. Slip stitch back down into the 3rd round of the head to finish the ear.
  5. Fasten off, cut yarn, and pull both yarn tails inside the head to secure.
  6. Repeat the steps on the left side of the head, ensuring the ears are placed symmetrically.

Finishing Touches

Now, let’s bring your sweet little beaver to life with some simple face embroidery details!

  • The Nose: Attach your safety or glue-on craft nose right in the middle of the two cream muzzle bobbles.
  • The Teeth: Using white embroidery thread or thin white yarn, make a few vertical stitches directly underneath the nose, overlapping the muzzle slightly, to create his signature beaver buck teeth.

Your adorable plush beaver is complete and ready to cuddle!
