Head (using gray yarn)

R1: Ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook (you can use the magic circle if you prefer as it won’t make a difference in the end.)
R2: Inc rep 6 times (12 sts)
R3: Sc 1, inc rep 6 times (18 sts)
R4: Sc 2, inc rep 6 times (24 sts)
R5: Sc 3, inc rep 6 times (30 sts)

R8: Sc 6, inc rep 6 times (48 sts)

R10: Sc 8, inc rep 6 times (60 sts)
R11-14: Sc in all 60 sts (4 rounds total—60 sts)
R15: Sc 9, inc rep 6 times (66 sts)
R16-18: Sc in all 66 sts (3 rounds total—66 sts)

R28: Sc 8, dec rep 6 times (54 sts)
R29: Sc 7, dec rep 6 times (48 sts)
R30: Sc 6, dec rep 6 times (42 sts)
Insert the eyes between R23 & 24, 13 sts apart. (Hint: insert the 1st eye. Count 13 sts from the hole where
you inserted the 1st eye and insert the 2nd eye.)

R31: Sc 5, dec 1 rep 6 times (36 sts)
R32: Sc 4, dec 1 rep 6 times (30 sts)
Stop and start to stuff the head, continuing
as you work. The secret to keeping the head
shape is to push the stuffing down and out. So,
when you get to the widest part, the cheeks,
push the stuffing out toward the sides to keep
the shape and define the cheeks. Don’t worry
if the bottom is slightly flat, since we want
that “gumdrop” look.
R33: Sc 3, dec 1 rep 6 times (24 sts)
R34: Sc 2, dec 1 rep 6 times (18 sts)
R35: Sc 1, dec 1 rep 6 times (12 sts)
R36: Dec 1 rep 6 times (6 sts)
Finish off. Finish stuffing head firmly, and use the tail to sew up hole, then weave in your end.

Nose (using black yarn)

R1: Ch 5, starting in 2nd ch from hook sc 3, inc 1, turn and in the front loops of the ch, inc 1, sc 3 (10 sts)
(See pic. #2.) This is called a foundation chain and is a great way to start a piece that you want to be
more oval than round. After crocheting through the top loops of the chain, you turn your work around
and crochet in the bottom loops of the chain. The first round is complete! Now you just continue as you
normally would.

R2: Inc 1, sc 2, inc 4, sc 2, inc 1 (16 sts)
R3: Sc 1, inc 1, sc 4, inc 1, sc 1, inc 3, sc 5 (21 sts)
R4: Sc in all 21 sts (21 sts)
Finish off leaving long tail for sewing.
Sew to the head directly between the eyes over R11-23 approx. Just before you finish sewing it
down, stuff lightly. (See following pics.)

When sewing on any body part I recommend that you use straight pins to arrange and secure each piece while sewing it on. This will ensure that everything goes on straight and things stay where you want them to be.
Ears (using gray yarn)
R1: Ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook
R2: Inc rep 6 times (12 sts)
R3: Sc 1, inc rep 6 times (18 sts)
R4: Sc 2, inc rep 6 times (24 sts)
R5: Sc 3, inc rep 6 times (30 sts)
R6: Sc 4, inc rep 6 times (36 sts)
R7-8: Sc in all 36 sts (2 rounds total—36 sts)

R9: Sc 4, dec rep 6 times (30 sts)
R10: Sc 3, dec rep 6 times (24 sts)
Finish off leaving a long tail for sewing. Do not stuff ears. Now we are going to make the ears fuzzy. Using a pet brush, vigourously brush each ear until it is fluffy and fuzzy. Keep brushing until you are satisfied with the fuzziness.
Sew the open ends of the ears closed using the long tail.
Sew the ears to either side of the head over R10-23. Make sure that the ears are curved when you sew them on. (See following pics.)

Body (using gray yarn)

Finish off leaving a long tail for sewing. Stuff firmly and sew to the head. (See pic. #12.)

Arms (Using gray yarn)

R1: Ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook
R2: Sc 2, inc rep 2 times (8 sts)
R3-7: Sc in all 8 sts (5 rounds total—8 sts)
R8: Sc 3, inc rep 2 times (10 sts)
R9-14: Sc in all 10 sts (6 rounds total—10 sts)
R15: Sc 1, dec rep 3 times, sc 1 (7 sts)

Finish off leaving long tail for sewing. Stuff very lightly and sew the open ends closed. Sew the first arm to the front of the body, slightly to the left of the nose (from his perspective) just under the head over R17-20 of the body.
It should be sewn on at a slight angle so that the bottom of the arm is extending out just a bit more than the top. Do the same for the second arm, except sew it to the backside of the body close enough to the first arm so that the tips of his paws touch.
Once you’ve sewn both arms on, take some extra gray yarn and sew the tips of his paws together.
Once you’ve sewn them together securely, weave in all ends.

Legs (using gray yarn)

R1: Ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook
R2: Inc rep 6 times (12 sts)
R3: Sc 1, inc rep 6 times (18 sts)
R4-7: Sc in all 18 sts (4 rounds total—18 sts)
R8: Dec rep 6 times, sc 6 (12 sts)
R9: Dec rep 4 times, sc 4 (8 sts)
R10-12: Sc in all 8 sts (3 rounds total—8 sts)
R13: Sc 1, inc 2, sc 2, dec 1, sc 1 (9 sts)
R14: Sc 1, inc rep 2 times, sc 2, dec 1, sc 1 (10 sts)
R15: Sc in all 10 sts (10 sts)
R16: Sc 8, dec (9 sts)
R17: Dec rep 4 times, sl st 1 (5 sts)

Finish off leaving long tail for sewing. Flatten the leg.
The round, larger section of the leg should be slightly indented on one side. That will be the inside of the leg, the side that we sew to the body so that the humpier side is facing out. Stuff R9-17 of the legs but leave the rest unstuffed. Sew the opening of the leg closed neatly, as it will be visible.
Weave the existing tail to the back of the leg or take a new length of gray yarn and sew the first leg to the front of the body over R7-13 of body, slightly to the left of the arm (from his perspective). Do the same for the back side leg, sewing it close enough to the first leg so that the paws are almost touching. Weave in all remaining ends.
