Materials and Tools:

• Sport/5 ply (12 wpi) yarn:
  • Main color: Alize Cotton Gold №688 – coffee-beige mélange (approx. 30 g.)
  • Jacket and scarf: Alize Cotton Gold №2 – mustard, №385 – green, №1 – milk
  • Tail: Alize Cotton Gold №87 – coal grey, Yarn Art Jeans №49 – grey
• 2.00 mm or 1.75 mm hook size

  Abbreviations:

  • st – stitch
  • ch – chain
  • sc – single crochet
  • inc – increase (crochet 2 sc in one loop)
  • dec – decrease (crochet 2 sc together)
  • sl st – slip stitch
  • (sc, inc) х n – repeat those in brackets n-times

  The size of the finished toy is approximately 20 cm. All details, except the scarf, are crocheted in a spiral. This toy is unique because only 6 decreases are used in crocheting the head and body, resulting in a seamless appearance.

  Arms (make 2):

  Brown color.

  • 1 rnd: 6 sc in the magic ring
  • 2 rnd: 6 inc (12)
  • 3 rnd: (3 sc, inc) х 3 (15)
  • 4-7 rnd: 4 rows – 1 sc in each st around (15)
  • 8 rnd: green color, sl st in each back loop of the 7th row (15)
  • 9 rnd: sc, grasping the back loops of the 7th and 8th rows (15)

  • 11 rnd: milk color, 1 sc in each st around (12)
  • 12-13 rnd: 2 rows with green color – 1 sc in each st around (12)

  Crochet 3-4 sc more so that the hook is at the edge. Stuff the arm softly, not reaching the top. Fold the edges in half and crochet 5 sc hooking both edges. You can either sew or crochet in the arms. If sewing, leave a long thread. For crocheting, fasten off the thread and hide the end inside.

  • 3 rnd: (1 sc, inc) х 6 (18)
  • 4 rnd: (2 sc, inc) х 6 (24)
  • 5 rnd: (3 sc, inc) х 6 (30)
  • 6 rnd: (4 sc, inc) х 6 (36)
  • 7-8 rnd: 2 rows – 1 sc in each st around (36)
  • 9 rnd: (5 sc, inc) х 6 (42)
  • 10-15 rnd: 6 rows – 1 sc in each st around (42)

  Legs (make 2):

  Brown color.

  • 1 rnd: 6 sc in the magic ring

  • 6 rnd: 6 sc, 3 dec, 6 sc (15)
  • 7-11 rnd: 5 rows – 1 sc in each st around (15)

  Cut the yarn and fasten off at the first leg. For the second leg, crochet 5-6 sc more so that it turns out at the inner side of the leg. Leave the loop open. Place the legs together so the toes face forward. Mark a loop at the first leg that aligns with the open loop of the second leg.

  Body (the lower part):

  Crochet 6 ch from the open loop of the second leg. Take the first leg, insert the hook into the marked loop – this will be the beginning of the row for the body (you can place a marker here).

  • 1 rnd: crochet around the first leg 15 sc, then 6 sc along the chain, 15 sc along the second leg, and 6 sc along the chain. In total, we get 42 stitches in this row.
  • 2 rnd: (6 sc, inc) х 6 (48)
  • 3 rnd: (7 sc, inc) х 6 (54)
  • 4-5 rnd: 1 sc in each st around (54)

  • 7-10 rnd: 4 rows – 1 sc in each st around (60)
  • 11 rnd: 1 sc in each st around crocheting in the tail
  • 12-16 rnd: 5 rows – 1 sc in each st around (60)Leave a long thread enough for sewing and set aside the detail.
    

    Head and Body (the upper part):

    Crochet 11 ch with brown color.

    • 1 rnd: begin crocheting from the 2nd loop from the hook – inc, 8 sc, 4 sc in the last loop of the chain. Continue along the other side of the chain with 8 sc, inc (24)

    • 29-30 rnd: 2 rows with milk color – 1 sc in each st around (60)
    • 31 rnd: with green color, 1 sc in each st around (60)
    • 32 rnd: with brown color, sc in each back loop (60)Fasten off and cut the yarn. Add stuffing to the body and head. Connect these two parts by marking the middle of each detail with a marker, then sewing with a brown thread. Ensure sufficient stuffing before closing the opening.
      

      Jacket:

      Make a loop with green yarn and pass it through the loop of the 31st row of the body. Crochet one row of sc, then two rows of sc with milk color, and the last row with green color. Fasten off and hide the end of the thread inside.

      Ears:

      • 1 rnd: 6 sc in the magic ring
      • 2 rnd: 6 inc (12)
      • 3-5 rnd: 3 rows – 1 sc in each st around (12)

      Fold the ear in half and crochet sc grasping both edges. Leave threads long enough for sewing.

      Muzzle:

      • 1 rnd: 6 sc in the magic ring
      • 2 rnd: 6 inc (12)
      • 3-9 rnd: 7 rows – 1 sc in each st around (12)
      • 10 rnd: 6 dec

      Put a little stuffing inside, leave a thread long enough for sewing, and tighten the opening.

      Scarf:

      • Crochet a chain of 96 ch + 2 ch.
      • Insert the hook in the 3rd loop from the hook, draw out the thread, then insert the hook in the next loop and draw out the thread, repeating this action one more time.
      • Crochet all 4 loops on the hook together, then crochet 2 ch.
      • Continue by drawing out each of the three loops and crocheting them together, followed by 2 ch.
      • Crochet in this manner until the end of the chain. For added width, crochet another row in the same way, attaching the yarn at the right side of the scarf.

      Make two pompons using a special device or cardboard. Fluff the pompons with a comb or a special comb for cats.

      Assembly and Decoration:

      • Sew the arms at the level of the 23rd row of the upper part of the body. Find the central stitch at the breast, count 8 stitches to each side, and place the arms within this 17-stitch space.
      • Sew the muzzle in the middle of the head between the 12th and 16th rows.
      • Embroider the nose with black thread.
      • Sew the ears and glue the eyes.
      • Make a couple of stitches with beige yarn for the brows.
      • Cut out teeth from white felt and cheeks from pink felt, then glue them in place.
      • Attach the scarf with the pompons to the side of the beaver.
