Cut the yarn, leaving a medium tail. This tail will be used later to close the remaining opening.

Create Dobby’s distinctive nose:

Craft Dobby’s large, expressive ears:

Begin with Dobby’s feet, preparing to join them for the body:

Rnd 1: MR 6sc (6)
Rnd 2: 6inc (12)
Rnd 3: (1sc, 1inc) x6 (18)
Rnd 4: BLO 18sc (18)
Rnd 5: 18sc (18)
Rnd 6: 7sc, 2dec, 7sc (16)
Rnd 7 – Rnd 11: 16sc (16)
For the first leg, cut the yarn, leaving a small tail to hide later.
For the second leg, DO NOT cut the yarn. Crochet 3 additional sc (this may vary based on your tension to ensure proper positioning). Then, make 1ch.
Join to the first leg by counting 2sc back from where you finished the first leg, and this will be the 1st stitch of Rnd 12.

Continue from the joined feet to create the body:

Rnd 12: 16sc in the first leg, 1sc in the chain, 16sc in the second leg, 1sc in the chain (34)
Rnd 13 – Rnd 16: 34sc (34)

Rnd 20: 30sc (30)
Rnd 21: 6sc, 1dec, 14sc, 1dec, 6sc (28)
Rnd 22: 28sc (28)
Rnd 23: (5sc, 1dec) x4 (24)
Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail to sew the body to the head. Stuff the body firmly as you go.

Now, bring all your crocheted pieces together to form Dobby:

Attach the Head: Sew the body to Rnd 31 of the head, ensuring the 24 stitches align perfectly.
Position the Nose: Sew the nose to the head between Rnd 20 and Rnd 25. Center it well between the eyes and stuff lightly with fiberfill before fully closing.
Add the Ears: Sew the ears to the head between Rnd 16 and Rnd 23, placing them approximately 8sc away from the eyes.
Attach the Arms: Sew the arms to the body over Rnd 22.
Eye Highlights: Using white yarn and a tapestry needle, embroider small highlights onto the safety eyes to give them life and sparkle.
Cheek Blush: If desired, gently apply blush or pink eyeshadow to Dobby’s cheeks for a subtle pop of color.
