Materials

• Size 4 worsted weight yarn (75 yards of light brown; small amount of dark brown, white, and black)

• Stitch markers

Notes

Slowly stuff as you go, you want it to be firm but not stretched. You will be working in the round, and it is helpful to use a stitch marker at the beginning of each round.

Finished sloth measures approximately 7 inches tall in its sitting position.

Eye Patch (Make 2)

This piece is worked crocheting on both sides of the foundation chain to create an oval shape. Keep your chain tight to avoid holes, and work in the round.

• With dark brown, chain 10
• Round 1: SC in the 2nd chain from hook, SC in the next 7 chains, 3SC in the last chain; working down the other side of the foundation chain, SC in the next 7 chains, complete 2SC in the last chain (20)
• Round 2: 2SC in the first st, SC in the next 7, 2SC in each of the next 3 sts, SC in the next 7, 2SC in each of the last 2 sts (26)
• Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Insert your safety eye into round one, by an edge, and set aside; do not secure the backs yet.

Head

With white yarn:

• Round 1: Create a magic circle with 6 SC
• Round 2: SC INC in each st (12)
• Round 3: SC in the first st, SC INC in the next, rep around (18)
• Round 4: SC in the first 2 sts, SC INC in the next, rep around (24)
• Round 5: SC in the first 3 sts, SC INC in the next, rep around (30)
• Round 6: SC in the first 4 sts, SC INC in the next, rep around (36)

• Round 9: SC in the first 7 sts, SC INC in the next, rep around (54)

• Note: Here is where we attach the facial features. Place the safety eyes (inside of the eye patches) between rounds 5 and 6 on each side. Angle your eye patches to your liking (down and to the side). Once happy with the angle, sew the eye patches into place and secure your safety eyes.
• Nose – With black yarn and tapestry needle, pass through 3 rounds between your eyes. Continue to pass through to create your desired thickness.
• Smile (optional) – With black embroidery thread (or yarn), create a smile below the nose by making a 'v'. You can add this after closing the head, but doing it earlier can make it easier.

• Round 18: SC in the first 6 sts, INV DEC in the next, rep around (42)

• Sew the head onto the body, adding extra stuffing as you go to ensure a strong connection.
• Sew the legs onto the body, starting at round 9 and ending at round 17 (counted from the bottom).
• Sew the arms onto the body at a slight angle (so they rest on the legs when sitting). I sewed the arms starting at round 20 and ending at round 25 (counted from the bottom).

All Finished!
