Now cut yarn and with a tapestry needle go thru allive stitches. Stuff before you pull the yarn tightly and close the whole in the body.
Tail
Take a 60cm long piece of yarn, fold in half and with a crochet hook pull the loop through at the side of Buuuu, and crochet a tail with a simple crochet chain. Finish the yarn you have and then pull the remaining through the last loop and let the ends be the end of the tail.
Eyes make 2
Cast on 16 stitches and knit in the round with magic loop. \*k1, dec, k1 dec, dec\* 2 times pull yarn through all stitches and sew on the body. Take the cast on tail of yarn and make sure you'll connect the start with the end. I found that when knitting in the round I have problems to keep a good tension on the first round and to use the tail of yarns to help before sewing the piece on the body makes it look neater. After attaching the eyes pull the yarn up at the top of head and you have a bit of hair. Take an orange yarn and make knots in center of the eyes. Starting with the end as a part of the hair aswell as the end.
If you wish to make it glow in the dark, ad 2m of reflective thread as I have done. Lots of fun Mona
