• Assembly:
  • Place front and back pieces together, sc around edges to join.

2. Head

• Rnd 1-4: Start with peach yarn, MR, increase rounds (6 → 24 sts).
• Rnd 5: Switch to blue, BLO inc round (30 sts).
• Insert safety eyes between Rnds 2-3, 7 sts apart.
• Rnd 8: Attach ears by crocheting 3 sc through ear and head.
• Rnds 11-14: Decrease to close, stuff firmly, and fasten off.

3. Arms & Legs

• Arms: Start with peach, switch to blue, stuff lightly, and sew to body.
• Legs & Body: Crochet legs separately, join with slip stitch, then work body rounds.

4. Assembly

1. Sew head to body, using a long needle to secure.
2. Tighten the muzzle with durable yarn (e.g., YarnArt Jeans) to define the face.
3. Embroider:
   • Nose: Pink yarn, 5-7 vertical stitches + 1 horizontal.
   • Smile & Teeth: Black yarn for mouth, white plush for teeth.

Tips for Success

• Stuff firmly for a squishy but structured shape.
• Use stitch markers to track rounds in spiral crochet.
• Watch tension—tight stitches keep stuffing hidden!
