Make two. Start with color 2.
1) 6 sc in the mr (6)
2) [1 sc, 1 inc] x3 (9)
3) [2 sc, 1 inc] x3 (12)
4 and 5) sc around (12)
Change to color 1.
6 to 9) sc around (12)
Fasten off the first leg leaving a long tail. Repeat rounds 1 to 9 for the second leg, but don’t fasten it off. Ch 6. Join both legs with a sc in the stitch immediately to the left of the last stitch made in the first leg. This is going to be considered the first sc in the new round.
10) 12 sc on the first leg (1 + 11), 6 sc on one side of the ch, 12 sc on the other leg, 6 sc on the other side of the ch [36]
Close the small hole that was created between both legs using that long tail of yarn left at the end of the first leg. Make a few stitches using the tapestry needle. Stuff the legs.
11 to 23) sc around [36]
Start stuffing the body using polyester fiber. Continue stuffing while crocheting until the end.
Stuff it very well. Stop stuffing it at round 31.
24) 2 sc, 1 dec [4 sc, 1 dec] x5, 2 sc (30)
25) sc around (30)
26) [3 sc, 1 dec] x6 (24)
27 and 28) sc around (24)
29) 1 sc, 1 dec [2 sc, 1 dec] x5, 1 sc (18)
30) sc around (18)
31) [1 sc, 1 dec] x6 (12)
32) 12 sc (12)
Fasten off leaving a long tail. Thread the tail through the body. It should come out between rounds 27 and 28. Do not cut it. This tail will be used to sew the chin to the body after we make the head. See the picture below.
Head:
Using color 1.
1) 6 sc in the mr (6)
2) 6 inc (12)
3) [1 sc, 1 inc] x6 (18)
4) 1 sc, 1 inc [2 sc, 1 inc] x5, 1 sc (24)
5) [3 sc, 1 inc] x6 (30)
6) 2 sc, 1 inc [4 sc, 1 inc] x5, 2 sc (36)
7) sc around (36)
Now we will join the head to the body. If you prefer, there is a video (in Portuguese, but it is very visual) on my IGTV (Instagram) showing how to do this.
8) 24 sc, 6 sc (picking up 6sc from the body as well – make sure you are closing the body while doing this. This means you will have to pick up both sides of the neck while crocheting), 6 sc (36)
9 to 16) sc around (36)
Using the tail left when you finished the body (the one threaded between rounds 27 and 28) and the tapestry needle, sew the head (chin) to the body. Note that the head should be lined with the body. Fasten off. Let’s continue with the head.
17) 2 sc, 1 dec [4 sc, 1 dec] x5, 2sc (30)
18) [3 sc, 1 dec] x6 (24)
19) sc around (24)
Start stuffing the head using polyester fiber. Continue stuffing while crocheting until the end.
20) 1 sc, 1 dec [2 sc, 1 dec] x5, 1sc (18)
21) [1 sc, 1 dec] x6 (12)
22) 6 dec (6) Fasten off closing the hole in the head.
