  4. Mouth: sew using black embroidery thread — straight across, slightly slanted, or however you'd like.
  5. Tongue: sew using pink embroidery thread.
  6. Tie all thread ends together so they stay in place, then tuck them inside.

Arm (make two)

white
  1. R1: sc 6 in magic circle (6)
  2. R2: sc for entire row (6)
  3. Switch to yellow.
  4. R3–7: sc for entire row (6)

  6. R8: Close the hole by crocheting through both the front and back stitches. sc 6 (6)
  7. Bind off. Leave enough yarn to sew the arm to the body.

Assembly

  1. Sew the ears to the sides of the head.
  2. Sew the arms to the side and top row of the body.
  3. Sew the body to the head using the yarn ends from the body or arms, or a new piece of yarn.
  4. Add the hoodie strings: thread the orange yarn through two holes under the hood near the neck and tie to hold in place. For a display piece, let the strings hang freely — they lay better without being secured. Tie a knot at each end close to the neck, then trim.
