Pattern Instructions:
The pattern is worked in rounds. You will repeat stitches in parenthesis until the end of the row unless stated otherwise. Stuff as you go and stuff firmly: if stuffing starts to show then remove some. There are lots of how to videos on the internet on how to do the Magic Ring, just use what works best for you. (Or you can ch 2, then work the proper amount of sc in the 2nd chain from the hook.) Place a stitch marker at the end of each round to mark your spot or use a scrap piece of yarn The head and body are all in one piece, less pieces to sew together. Size: approximately 5 %" tall w/o his hair (depending on the individual, hook used and yarn used)
