Round 6: SC in first 4, SC INC in next. Repeat around. (36)
Change to Brown
Round 7: SC in each around. Fasten off leaving a long tail to sew on the head.
When you attach it to the head, you will use the long brown tail. It will have a slight hexagonal shape, I lined one point of the hexagon toward the top of the head. Attach the eyes through the face piece between rows 3 and 4, about 3 stitches apart and then through the head around rows 36-37. Embroider the eyebrows about one row above the eyes.

Rounds 7-8: SC in each around. (36)
Slip stitch in the next 3 stitches. Fasten off and leave a long tail to sew on to the face. Get a long piece of brown yarn. Sew the nose on about row 6. When you are ready to attach it, the bottom of the piece will be on row 27 and the top about row 36. Use pins to attach it. Sew it around and lightly stuff it. It will line up with the face piece. It will be attached after the face piece. Stuff as you go!

Black Head Piece
Note: It may be helpful to go up one size hook (or even a half size) for this piece. It will sit on the head and it is a very tight fit. I did not, but I did stretch it out before attaching, and I pulled it down to where I wanted it and used pins to keep it in place while I sewed it on. Don’t be intimidated, this is all much easier than it sounds!

Tail
Chain 12
In the second chain from the hook, HDC. HDC in the remaining chains for a total of 10.
Fasten off. Cut 4 pieces of yarn to attach to the end of the tail. Fold in half and pull through using the hook. Pull the ends through the loop and pull tight. Separate the strands of the yarn for the tail end. Sew it on the backside, centered between the legs.

Head Fuzz
Now you can add the cute little hair fuzz! I cut 2 pieces of yarn about 6 inches long. Using your hook pull the yarn through. Pull the ends through the loop made when you pulled through. Pull tight! I attached them right between the ears. Now separate the strands like you did with the tail. Trim them up to your desired length! (NOTE: This picture is for my Friendly Elephant pattern, but the concept is the same!)

Materials:

• Crochet Hook: Size G6 / 4mm (I use these crochet hooks that have an ergonomic soft handle)
• Yarn: any Worsted Weight 4 ply yarn is fine.
• Colors: Off White and Black
• Craft Eyes: 6mm Solid Black Plastic Craft Eyes with safety backing (available here)
• Craft Felt : Black, 2 small patches
• Needle and black thread: for sewing on felt patches
• Yarn or Tapestry Needle: for sewing parts together
• Pins: for holding parts together while you sew
• Poly-fil: polyester fiberfill for stuffing
• Scissors

SC = Single Crochet
ST= Stitch
INC = Increase
DEC = Decrease

To change color of the yarn, begin the single crochet with the first color. This should leave you with two loops on your hook. Now grab the second color with the hook and pull it through both loops to complete the stitch. Now continue the next single crochet in the second color.

Because the muzzle is so small, instead of stuffing with poly-fil, I use left over bits of off white yarn. Sew on nose and mouth with black yarn.
