Materials

• Hook 2.5mm
• Yarn needle
• Pins
• Scissors
• Stitch markers
• For eyes: black embroidery thread
• For nose: embroidery thread or a safety eye 5-6mm
• Fiberfill

Yarn

• Gazzal Baby Cotton (Beige 3437) for the head
• Phildar Phil Cotton 3 (101) or DMC Wool Chic (112) for the body

The result may depend on the gauge and the size of your hook. You can adapt the size of your hook according to your way of working: if you crochet tightly, use the recommended hook or a larger one. Conversely, if you are used to crocheting rather loosely, get a smaller hook. Using the threads recommended in the tutorial allows you to obtain a result similar to the original model.

Cut the thread, leaving enough length to close the opening. To do this, take your yarn needle and pass your yarn through the front loop of the remaining 2 stitches. Pull hard to close.

Details and Embroidery

Feel free to use a few pins to help with positioning.

Face Embroidery

First, place two pins on round 10, then one slightly above, slightly offset, and then one more pin further off to the side to form a small pointed hat shape.

Using thread of your choice, embroider a little muzzle on the upturned part of his little nose. Alternatively, you can insert a small safety nose (5-6mm).
