— Head :

Round 1 :

Yarn A: 6 loops, turning, 5sc (starting from the 2nd loop from the hook), 5sc (from the back of the chain) (10l)

Round 2 :

Round 3-5 :

12sc (12l)

Info :

Next, you need to crochet the head of yarn A and yarn B at once alternately change the thread, but not cutting it to get fluffy cheeks. This technique is called jacquard. Color changing technique: when crocheting the last Yarn A sc, insert the hook into the loop, pull out the thread, crochet this sc to the end with Yarn B thread. Then the Yarn A thread is thrown forward, and the Yarn B working thread goes backwards. To change the thread back: when crocheting the last Yarn B sc, insert the hook into the loop, pull out the thread, crochet this sc to the end with the Yarn A thread. It’s more convenience to move on only Yarn A, leave Yarn B where it ends and grab again when it necessary.

— Assemblage :

Step 1 :

Attach the limbs using needles for cutting: hands between rounds 7 and 8 of body, distance between legs approx. 18 stitches; legs between rounds 15 and 16 of body, distance between legs approx. 22 stitches. Check that the badger sits steadily. Detach the hands and legs without removing the needles from them, and insert other needles for cutting in their place.

Step 2 :

Insert the needle through the back into the hand attachment point leaving the loose end of the thread outside.

Step 3 :

Thread the needle through two loops on the inner surface of the hand (the needle for cutting must be in the middle).

Step 4 :

Insert the needle into the body at the hand attachment point and pull it out at the point of attachment of the second hand. Pass the needle through the second hand in the same way.

Step 5 :

Sew the body and the hands two more times in the same way for strength.

Step 6 :

Insert the needle at the hand attachment point and pull out it at the point of attachment of the opposite leg. Thread the needle through the leg and insert the needle into the body at the leg attachment point and pull it out at the point of attachment of the second leg. Pass the needle through the second leg.

Step 7 :

Sew the body and the legs two more times in the same way for strength. Insert the needle into the body at the leg attachment point and pull it out in the place where it was introduced at the very beginning. Tie a few knots.

Assembly Instructions

Attach limbs using needles for cutting: position hands between rounds 7 and 8 of the body with spacing as indicated and legs between rounds 15 and 16; check the badger sits steadily before sewing permanently.
Insert the needle through the back into the hand attachment point leaving the loose end outside, then thread the needle through two loops on the inner surface of the hand to secure it.
Pass the needle through the body at the attachment point and out at the corresponding point for the opposite limb, then pass through the second limb and repeat sewing two more times for strength.
For leg attachment, insert the needle through the leg and into the body at the leg attachment point, pull out where needed, and sew the body and legs two more times for strength before tying off.
Insert cotter pin into shim and place it between rounds before closing the head; put the disk on the cotter pin and wrap the ends in the rings with round-nosed pliers to secure the rotating head mechanism.
Use pins to pre-fix parts for symmetry, check placement against photos, and tie a few knots after sewing; finally sew the tail to the body as the last step.

Important Notes

💡Use stitch markers to mark the beginning of each round, especially during color changes and jacquard sections, to keep your counts accurate.
💡Work with good lighting and feel for stitches when using fluffy yarn (Yarn B); consider substituting for Yarn A if you are a beginner to avoid hidden stitches.
💡Stuff parts gradually and insert felt discs before closing to prevent stuffing from clinging to the hook and to achieve neat closures.
💡Pin parts in place and check symmetry before sewing to ensure even placement of ears, limbs and crest.
