⭐ Important Tip! ⭐Make the ears and arms before starting the body. You’ll be crocheting them directly into the body, so they need to be ready to go!

Body

We’ll start with the feet and work our way up.

Legs (Make 2, in yellow):

  • R1: 4sc in MR (4)
  • R2: (sc, inc)x2 (6)
  • R3: (2sc, inc)x2 (8)
  • For Leg 1, FO and leave a short tail.
  • For Leg 2, do not FO. Instead, ch2.

Now, let’s join the legs to start the body:

  • R4: sc 20 (20)
    • How to join: First, work sc into the stitches of Leg 1. Then sc around the leg and the chains. Next, sc around Leg 2 and the chains on the other side for a total of 20 stitches.
  • R5: (4sc, inc)x4 (24)
  • R6: (5sc, inc)x4 (28)
  • R7-10: sc around (28) [4 rounds]
  • R11: 6sc, 2sc through arms, 12sc, 2sc through arms, 6sc (28)
    • This is where you’ll attach the arms you made earlier!
  • R12: sc around (28)
  • R13: 6sc, dec, 12sc, dec, 6sc (26)
  • Place safety eyes between rows 12 and 13, with about 5 stitches apart. Cut a small mouth shape out of felt and glue it between the eyes.

  • R15: 2sc, dec, 3sc through ear, (2sc, dec)x2, sc, 3sc through ear, 2sc, dec, sc (20)
