(3 sc, 1 dec) x 6 (24)
Round 22 :

Info :
Fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing to the neck. Finish stuffing so head feels firm but slightly yielding. Weave yarn tail through remaining 6 sts and pull closed; knot and secure inside.

Round 13 :
(6 sc, inc) x 6 (48)

In the sample the striped sleeve is worked separately and sewn in; the body remains navy with an embroidered red neckline added later.
Round 19 :
(6 sc, dec) x 6 (42)
Round 20 :
(5 sc, dec) x 6 (36)

Round 6-8 :
Change to red and build the shoe upper: 1 sc in each st (12)
Round 9 :
Change to white, 1 sc in each st to create the sole edging (12)
Round 10-12 :
Work white decorative straps: surface slip stitch two straps across the top later, but make two small raised ridges by crocheting 2 ch, skip two st, sl st into next, repeat to make strap outlines. Fasten off and weave ends.
Info :
Sew or glue shoe sole to bottom of leg. The cuff is folded over on top of the shoe to hide the seam and create that rolled sock look; tack it down with a few stitches behind the ankle.
— Overalls Bib and Straps :
Round 1 :
With navy, ch 12, join to work as a slip strip across the chest to form the bib base, sc across ch (11)
Round 2 :
Turn and 1 sc in each st for 6 rounds to create a rectangular bib (11)
Round 3 :
Fold bib to shape and sew top edge to chest at round 14-15 area. Leave two long straps (ch 18 each) for overalls, attach at top edge, secure with orange button embellishments.
Info :
Sew straps to back around the waist line and tack to prevent slipping. Buttons are decorative and can be glued or sewn on; use small 6 mm orange buttons as pictured.
— Striped Sleeve (Make 2) :
Round 1 :
With main stripe sequence, ch 12, join and work in rounds to create a narrow tube that matches arm circumference. 12 sc in round 1 (12)
Round 2-3 :
Change color each round as: white, teal, green, blue, red sequence repeated; 1 sc each st (12)
Round 4-8 :
Repeat color sequence to reach length approx equal to arm sleeve length (12)
Info :
Work sleeves as separate tubes and slip over the stuffed arm before sewing the arm to the body so the seam is hidden under the cuff. The cuffs are finished in red with 1-2 rounds of FLO ribbing for a folded look.
— Hair (Yarn Strand Attachment) :
Info :
Hair is made by attaching multiple yarn strands folded in half across the head using a lark's head knot inserted into each stitch row. Use bright red worsted yarn. Pre-cut strands to twice desired final length (approx 16-18 cm each for the pictured bob). For a full head you will need approx 180-220 strands depending on thickness.
Step :
Fold a bundle of 3-4 strands in half, insert hook through a stitch at preferred hairline (usually between rounds 7-10 of head), pull the folded loop through and pull ends through loop to tighten. Repeat across head in rows until crown is covered. For a blunt bob, attach strands up to round 12 and trim evenly at the bottom to shape.
Info :
For body framing, create slightly longer strands toward center top to mimic the photo where hair falls below chin on the sides. Use scissors to even out length, then use a small dab of fabric glue at the base of some knots if extra security is desired.
— Facial Embroidery and Scar :
Info :
Use orange embroidery thread for eyebrows. Place eyebrow as an angled short satin stitch on rounds 11-13 about 5-7 stitches above the eye. The scar beside right eye uses black and red embroidery thread in small crossed stitches. Mark placement when head is stuffed and eyes placed. Use thin yarn or embroidery floss to avoid bulky stitches.
Step :
To embroider the scar: with red thread, make a short zig-zag line of 6-8 small straight stitches slanted outward from the outer corner of the eye (stitch across rounds 12-14). Then overlay with very small black straight stitches crossing the red line to imitate stitches. Knot and hide tails inside head.
Info :
Safety eyes must be attached before heavy stuffing. Position eyes symmetrically and use a ruler or stitch counts to confirm spacing. For the look shown, eyes are slightly oversized in proportion to the head for a stylized effect.
— Finishing Details and Buttons :
Step :
Sew two small orange buttons to the front of overalls at strap ends. Use matching thread or yarn and tack through bib so straps do not shift. Add a tiny red embroidery around the neckline to mimic the red collar in the original.
Info :
Trim any obvious yarn tails and weave ends into bodies using a yarn needle. If necessary, steam-block hair lightly (do not apply heat directly to safety eyes) to set the shape if your yarn allows.
— Extra Rounds: Texture & Reinforcement (Optional) :
Round 1 :
For added weight and balance, insert a small pellet bag or bag of beans at the bottom before final closure of the body. If using pellets, place them in a sealed small bag to prevent them moving inside the toy.
Round 2 :
Optionally, embroider small shoe laces or add surface slip stitch details on shoes to match the raised white straps pictured.
Info :
Check all attachment points by tugging gently; reinforce with extra passes of yarn if necessary so limbs remain secure during play or display.
