The head is continuously filled.
Make sure that you stuff stuff in the cheek and chin area so that head shape looks particulary cute.

Do not cut the yarn.
Continue crocheting the body seamlessly with your white yarn.
Body

Stuff the body while crocheting.
Especially the neck area is well stuffed with fiberfill so that the head does not wobble.
The head will lean a bit forward, if you stuff the back neck area well.

Stuff a bit more, but it the end only a bit fiberfill.

Close the opening, fasten off, pull the thread to a stitch at the tip and sew in end at the back.
The tip bulges a bit forward.
Arms
Crochet two in your base color, here white. The arms are not filled.
1. 7 sc in MR (7)
2-10. 9 rd 7 sc (7)
Leave a long tail for sewing.
Flatten the opening and sew it together.
The arms sew directly under the head on the left and right of the neck.
Do not cut the yarn. Pull the thread to the middle of the body (to rd 8) and create the belly button (navel). Stitch from the one stitch to the next and bring the thread backwards pulling it tight.
The navel is now arched inwards.
Knot the thread with another thread of the arms, sew it up throughly and let both of them disappear into the body.
Cape
Crochet in your base color, here white.
You can take the same like your base color or choose a thinner cotton yarn or thinner alpaca yarn e.g. Drops nord.
Be careful not to crochet too tight. I recommend using a crochet hook size larger or if your yarn is thinner keep your hook size.
Crochet in rows, the tch isn’t counted.
Start with a ch-sp of 19 ch.
1. 18 sc in the back “cross loop”, tch 18
Now go on crocheting hdc in each stitch.
Next rw create the opening for the arms.
2. 3 hdc, 3 ch + skip 1 st, 10 hdc, 3 ch + skip 1 st, 3 hdc (22)
3-8. 6 rows 22 hdc (22)
9. hdc-inc, 20 hdc, hdc-inc (24)
In the last rows the tips are crocheted.
10. [1sc, in the next st: (2 hdc, 1 picot, 2 hdc), 1 sc, 1 slst]
repeat this sequence […] 5 more times.
Cut the yarn and sew in end.
Weave a ribbon through the top cuff and tie the cape.
You can also crochet a ribbon of 55-60 ch.
picot: 3 hdc, 3 ch, one slst in the first of the 3 ch.
