Pattern instructions
INFO AND TIPS
Begin with the arms and legs and then the body. The arms and legs are crocheted directly onto
the body, so you don't have to sew them on afterwards. When crocheting on the pieces, crochet
through the round on the piece and the body.
Loop stitch
1. Make a loop: Pull the yarn up to the desired length to form at loop.
2. Keep the loop in place: Use your fingers to hold the loop so it doesn't slip back.
3. Single crochet: Insert the hook into the same stitch where the loop comes from, yarn
over, and pull through the loop. Yarn over again and pull through both loops on the hook.
4. Repeat: Continue by making a new loop and then a single crochet in each stitch or
following the pattern. Watch a video here:
