Embroider the nose with YarnArt Jeans yarn, sew the eyes.
Love the pattern, but you don’t say whether or not the body is to be stuffed or how😏
Stephanie, the head, body and legs are stuffed 😉
Thanks for the pattern. I only had one problem… when and how to put the eyes. You used security eyes, right? When do you put them? Becase I put them before starting the body, but then they were not in the right place. And then I saw “sew the eyes” and I was totally confused… sew? How do you sew the eyes and at what point of the pattern? Thanks for the help.
Andrea, the designer uses black beads and sews them.Try to insert safety eyes on R9 or 10 at the distance of 3 stitches from each other.
Hi I finished head and body too but now I am on R 31 where I did 12sc and I must as a next step do the skip 12sc
but I absolutely don´t understand what the skip 12sc means cuz I don´t know what to do next how I must creat
that first and second leg 🙁 I really need video to see it how it looks like 🙁 plz help me
Anabel, divide the body in 2 parts with stitch marker, each part is 12 sc. Crochet the 1st row of the leg: make sc in each st till the marker, then turn and crochet on the other side of the body, forming a circle. Hope, this picture helps you: https://amigurum.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/amigurumi_tutorial.png
