Pattern Instructions
Foundation
Start with a magic ring for all pieces unless otherwise specified.
Body
Using green yarn:
Rnd 1: Make a magic ring, ch 1, 6 sc in ring. (6 sts) Rnd 2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts) Rnd 3: [Sc, inc] 6 times. (18 sts) Rnd 4: [Sc 2, inc] 6 times. (24 sts) Rnd 5: [Sc 3, inc] 6 times.

FO, leaving a long tail for sewing. Stuff firmly with fiberfill. Weave the tail through the remaining 6 stitches and pull tight to close.
Assembly / Finishing
- Eyes: Insert safety eyes between Rnd 7 and 8, about 4 stitches apart. Use white yarn to embroider a small white highlight next to each safety eye.
- Cheeks: Using pink yarn, embroider small rosy cheeks just below the eyes.
- Mouth: Using black yarn, embroider a small "V" or a gentle curve for the mouth.
- Weave in ends: Weave in all loose ends securely.
Tips
- Use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of each round, especially when working in a continuous spiral.
- For a tighter fabric that prevents stuffing from showing through, use a hook size smaller than suggested for your yarn weight.
- Make sure to crochet a gauge swatch if you want your finished item to match specific dimensions; while stitch counts are provided, the final size can vary with individual tension and yarn choice.
