Decrement pattern continues: Continue to decrease by performing fewer single crochets before each decrease for the remaining rounds until the head is shaped.
Body and Legs:
- Legs: Start with a magic ring for each leg with 6 single crochets, increase in every stitch in Round 2 (12 stitches), and single crochet evenly in Rounds 3 and 4.
- Join Legs: Crochet a chain of 3 stitches between the legs and continue crocheting around both legs.
- Body Rounds: Increase the stitch count initially for a few rounds, single crochet evenly for several rounds, then gradually decrease towards the top of the body, decreasing similar to head pattern.
Arms:
- Repeat similar steps as legs but shorter, finishing off with straight stitching without increase after initial rounds.
Ears:
- Start with a magic ring, followed by a pattern of increasing and then a few rounds of single crochet only, to get the correct shape. Round details can be inferred in a similar progressive increase fashion as other parts.
Assembly:
- Attach safety eyes between the appropriate rounds according to the desired facial expression.
- Sew the ears, arms, and head to the body.
- Embroider a nose and mouth for added cuteness.
- Make sure all parts are securely attached and well-stuffed before final stitching.
Notes:
- Be sure to stuff the components (head, body) as you close off the rounds.
- Adjustments for size and proportion can be made by increasing or decreasing the number of increase/decrease rounds.
