Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this pattern: change the colours to create your own characters, from pastel versions to bright, bold hues.

You can make the piece larger or smaller by choosing a different yarn weight and matching hook size; for a mini keychain version use lighter yarn and a smaller hook.

I sometimes add felt details or tiny embroidered features for a different finish—felt cheeks or an embroidered mouth are quick upgrades.

Try swapping safety eyes for embroidered eyes if you prefer a softer, child-safe toy; embroidering gives a very sweet expression.

Experiment with different stuffing amounts to alter firmness and posture; a slightly flatter body gives a relaxed, squishy look.

I also like to add a small loop or keyring to the head to turn it into a bag charm or keychain for gifting.

If you want posable limbs, consider inserting thin craft wire into the arms before sewing them closed and positioning them as desired.

For a seasonal twist, change the cheek colour or add a tiny scarf or accessory to make a themed version for holidays.

Try different stitch textures for the body, such as alternating half double crochet rows with single crochet rows, to create subtle body striping or texture changes.

I recommend testing colour placement before finishing; pin pieces in place with safety pins to preview how the assembled toy will look before permanently sewing.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers when marking leg placement leads to misaligned legs; use stitch markers to mark the 5-stitch leg sections and a consistent gap between them. ✗ Adding safety eyes too late or in the wrong spot can disrupt the face proportions; place safety eyes between rounds 7 & 8 and ensure they are 5 stitches apart before stuffing. ✗ Overstuffing the head causes a lumpy, misshapen look; stuff gradually and test firmness frequently to keep smooth contours. ✗ Forgetting to leave long yarn tails for sewing makes assembly awkward; leave the recommended 6" or 10" tails when instructed for secure sewing and finishing.

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the arms onto Round 2 of the body, spacing them 4 stitches apart at the front to create a natural arm placement (PHOTO K).
  • Sew the ears onto either side of the head between Rounds 3 & 4, aligning the black tips and yellow base so both ears are symmetrical (PHOTO L).
  • Sew the cheeks (Cranberry) between Rounds 9 & 11 slightly behind the eyes so they sit just under the eye line (PHOTO N).
  • Use the 10" yarn tail from the second leg to sew closed the gap between the legs, securing the body base and creating a neat join (PHOTO J).
  • Sew the tail onto the body between Rounds 7 & 8 at a slight angle so it follows the body curve (PHOTO O & P).
  • Secure the nose by sewing a strand of black yarn around the centre stitch of Rounds 8 & 9 between the eyes, and hide ends inside the head (PHOTO M).

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to accurately mark leg placement and maintain symmetry during assembly.
  • 💡Place safety eyes before stuffing the head to ensure correct eye placement and a smooth finish.
  • 💡Do not overstuff; stuff gradually to achieve the desired firmness and avoid distorting shapes.
  • 💡Leave long yarn tails where instructed for sewing pieces securely and for closing openings.
