HEAD DETAILS:

Embroider the nose with the thread of black color. Divide it into 4 thin strands. Embroider the nose with a triangle shape. (As shown in the photo.) When whole the triangle is filled with stitches, make 3-4 horizontal stitches at the upper part of the nose.

The eyes are sewn above the round 8, at the level of the first and the last inc of the round 8.
(Pay attention, that I don’t make any special needle sculpting for the eyes. BUT! I pull the threads tightly when sewing them and in this way the eyes are sunk into the head and they look beautifully.)

Embroider the eye whites with the thread of cream color

(If you are going to use safety eyes, then you need to make special needle sculpting for the eyes.)

Embroider the eyelids with the thread of black color YarnArt Jeans (divide the thread into 4 strands, I used 2 strands)

Embroider the eyebrows with the thread of black color YarnArt Jeans (divide the thread into 4 strands). Add blushes to the cheeks.

Sew on the ears at the level of the eyes. (As shown in the photo.)

Toy assembly

Sew the head to the body, having fixed it with pins. The color changing line is located at the body side. This will help us to hide this line under the arm. Add stuffing to the space between the body and the head while sewing. So the head would be fixed much better.

Thread jointing of arms

1.Mark the points for arms attaching. attach the arms leaving 6 rounds from the head.

2. Insert the needle into the toy back, bring out at the toy side where the first arm will be attached.

3. Insert the needle under the third round of the arm (count from the top), bring it out leaving 2 sts from the entry point.

4. Insert the needle into the same point on the body, run through the body out from another side where the second arm will be attached.

5. The second arm should be attached in the same way as the first one, insert the needle under the third round of the arm, bring it out, leaving 2 sts, reinsert the needle into the same point on the body.

6. Repeat all the steps with both arms.

7. Bring the needle out from the point, where it was inserted at the first time. Pull threads tightly so the arms were pushed to the body. Tie a knot, fasten off the thread ends and weave in inside of the body using a crochet hook.

Thread jointing of legs

I attach the legs at the level of 8-9 rounds. Insert the needle under the 4th round of the leg (counting from the top).

Embroider the straps with the thread of black color YarnArt Jeans. (Divide the thread into 4 strands, I used 2 strands.)
The straps should be embroidered above rounds 7 and 8. (The stitch length is 3 sc.)

CROCHET CAP:
(The cap isn’t crocheted in a spiral. Start every new round with 3 turning ch (which are counted as one DC stitch), finish every round with a slip stitch, which joins the beginning and the end of a round. I use crochet hook 2 (US B))

Round 1. Make a ch 57, joined it in a circle with sl st (make sure the chain is not twisted).
Round 2. 3 turning ch, 56 DC, sl st (57)
Round 3. 3 turning ch, front post DC, back post DC – work in this way, alternating front and back post DC stitches till the end of the round, sl st (57)
Round 4. 3 turning ch, 16 DC, dec, (17 DC, dec) х 2 times, sl st (54)
Round 5. 3 turning ch, 53 DC, sl st (54)
Round 6. 3 turning ch, 6 DC, dec, (7 DC, dec) х 5 times, sl st (48)
Round 7. 3 turning ch, 5 DC, dec, (6 DC, dec) х 5 times, sl st (42)
Round 8. 3 turning ch, 4 DC, dec, (5 DC, dec) х 5 times, sl st (36)
Round 9. 3 turning ch, 3 DC, dec, (4 DC, dec) х 5 times, sl st (30)
Round 10. 3 turning ch, 2 DC, dec, (3 DC, dec) х 5 times, sl st (24)
Round 11. 3 turning ch, DC, dec, (2 DC, dec) х 5 times, sl st (18)
Round 12. 3 turning ch, dec, (DC, dec) х 5 times, sl st (12)
Round 13. 3 turning ch, 5 dec, DC, sl st.

Fasten off the thread, leaving a tail with 15 cm in length.
Bring the thread through front loops of last 6 stitches of the last round using a needle, pull the opening closed carefully, sew on the bell.

SHOTS:

(The shorts isn’t crocheted in a spiral. Start every new round with 3 turning ch (which are counted as one DC stitch), finish every round with a slip stitch, which joins the beginning and the end of a round. I use crochet hook 1,75 (US 4),

Round 1. Make a chain. Its length should be equal to the toy’s belly circumference in its widest part. I made ch50, joined it in a circle with sl st (make sure the chain is not twisted).

Round 2. 3 turning ch, 49 DC, sl st (50)

Round 3. 3 turning ch, front post DC, back post DC – work in this way, alternating front and back post
DC stitches till the end of the round, sl st (50)

Round 4-8. 3 turning ch, 49 DC, sl st (50) (5 rounds)

Fasten off the thread, leaving a tail with 20 cm in length.
Turn the fabric inside out. We need to work 4 sc, inserting the hook under the stitches of the front and the back parts of the fabric (in this way we form the opening for our legs).
I have 50-8=42 st, 42:2=21 st for the each opening. Crochet 4 sc.
