Designer: tanyaasmile
Materials:
– The hook suitable under your yarn. I have Clover Soft Touch 2.00 mm.
– Yarn: beige, blue, red, white, yellow and a light yellow colors. I used «YarnArt Jeans» yarn (160m in 50g, 55% cotton/45% polyacryl).
– 7 mm black safety eyes.
– Toys filler.
– Scissors.
– Tapestry needle.
– Pins.
– Stitch marker.
Terms used:
MR – magic ring
sc – single crochet
ch – chain stitch
sl st – slip stitch
blo – through back loops only
inc – increase (stitch 2 times into the next stitch)
dec – invisible decrease (crochet 2 sc together using invisible method)
(…)x n – repeat instructions in brackets n times
R – round.
Change colors in crochet. Loop your new yarn color over your hook. Crochet your new yarn color back through the two loops on your hook.
Notes:
– Crochet continuously in a spiral, unless otherwise specified.
– In order to not lose track of the number of worked stitches in each round, use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round – a thin thread of contrasting color.
– Crochet tightly enough so the filler is not visible through the holes between loops.
– Tightly and gradually fill all the details of the toy in the process of crocheting.
– Size of the finished toy can vary depending on the materials used, the density of crocheting and filling, etc.
Stuff body and head firmly, stuffing as you go.
