1– MR with 8sc;
2– 8 Inc (16sc);
3– (1sc, 1Inc)8x (24sc);
4– 1sc, Inc, (2sc, 1Inc)7x, 1sc (32sc);
5– (3sc, 1Inc)8x (40sc);
6 to 9 – sc all around (4 rows of 40sc);
Now we will work with color changes. To make it easier to read, the text will be in red in the parts that we should change to the color of the patch, and black where we will use the “base” color of the head (if you prefer, you can do the whole thing in the same color).
10– (9sc, inc) 2x, 1sc, 8sc, inc, 9, inc (44sc);
11– 5sc, inc, 10sc, inc, 4sc, 3sc, 3sc, inc, 10sc, inc, 5sc (48sc);
12– 22sc, 5sc, 21sc (48sc);
13– 21sc, 7sc, 20sc (48sc);
14– 20sc, 9sc, 19sc (48sc);
Attach the eyes between rows 9 and 10, with 5 stitches visible between them.
15 – 2sc, dec, (4sc, dec)2x, 3sc, 1sc, dec, 4sc, dec, 2sc, 2sc, dec, (4sc, dec)2x, 2sc (40sc);
16 – (3sc, dec)3x, (3sc, dec)2x, 1sc, 2sc, dec, (3sc, dec)2x (32sc);
17 – 1sc, dec, (2sc, dec)2x (2sc, dec)3x, (2sc, dec)2x 1sc (24sc);
18 – (1sc, dec)2x 1sc, dec, (1sc, dec)3x, (1sc, dec)2x (16sc);
Add stuffing. We will work again only with the 1st color.
19– (2sc, dec)4x (12sc);
20a– BLO 12sc;
20b– FLO 12inc (24sc);
Body
21– (3sc, 1 inc)6x (30sc);
22 to 26 – sc all around (5 rows of 30sc);
27– (3sc, dec)6x (24sc);
Now we will separate the legs. To do this, fold the piece in half and leave 12 sc on each side.
I made 2sc to reach the center of the body, make as many as needed to center the beginning of the 1st leg.
Consider the beginning of the row as the 1st stitch made on the front of the body.
Leg 1
1 to 4– 12sc;
In the next rows we will have increases centered in the front of the legs – if you find it necessary, change the amount of sc before the increases.
5– 2sc, 3inc, 7sc (15sc);
6– 3sc, 3inc, 9sc (18sc);
7– BLO – 18sc;
Place stuffing in the length of the 1st leg before the next row.
8– 9dec.
Close with inverted magic ring and fasten off.
Leg 2
Before starting, stuff the body. Here the beginning of the row will be at the back of the body, as shown in the photo. Therefore, the amount of sc before the increases in the 5th row will change.
Insert a new yarn in the first free stitch of the back.
Rows 1 to 4 – 12 sc;
5– 7 sc, 3 inc, 2 sc (15 sc);
6– 9 sc, 3 inc, 3 sc (18 sc);
7– BLO – 18 sc;
Insert stuffing.
8– 9 dec. Close with inverted magic ring and fasten off.
