Start crocheting from the head:

1. 6 sc in a magic ring (6)
2. 6 inc (12)
3. (1 sc, inc) x 6 (18)
4. (2 sc, inc) x 6 (24)
   5-8. 24 sc (4 rows)
5. (2 sc, dec) x 6 (18)
6. (1 sc, dec) x 6 (12)
7. 12 sc, stuff the head with filling
8. (1 sc, inc) x 6 (18)
   13-15. 18 sc (3 rows)
9. (2 sc, inc) x 6 (24)
   17-18. 24 sc (2 rows)

Now, continue crocheting the legs without cutting the yarn.

3. Start decreasing, close the leg, and cut the yarn. You’ll have a total of 20-23 rows of 7 sc.

• Second Leg:

2. Between the two legs, stuff the toy and continue crocheting.

Arms:
