Pattern notes:As this is an amigurumi pattern the tension should be tighter than normal so that the stuffing is not visible, hence the use of the smaller hook size. If the holes between decreases are very noticeable change to a hook half a size smaller, this will close the gaps. Rounds are worked in spirals un-less otherwise indicated. A stitch marker placed at the end of the round will help keep track of rounds and stitches. Simply move it up each round as you work. Special stitches:Magic ringMake a large loop with the end of the yarn lying under the work-ing yarn. Hold the loop with your thumb and forefinger, insert the hook under the yarn end and pull the working yarn through to create a loop. Slip stitch 1 to lock the

loop. Treat the looped yarn as a closed chain and work the required number of stitches into the loop. Once you have completed the stitches pull the yarn end to tighten the loop thus closing the hole.

Increase: Increases are made by placing 2 stitches into the same stitch from the previous round. Invisible decrease:Working with the next two available stitches, insert hook through front loop of first stitch; do not draw up a loop. Insert hook through front loop of second stitch (3 loops on hook). Yarn over hook. Pull through both front loops (2 loops on hook). Yarn over hook, pull through both loops on hook. Invisible decrease made. Closing body parts:Cut the yarn with enough length to weave in the end. Use the tapestry needle insert through the front loops of each remaining stitch. Pull the opening tight and weave in the end, varying the direction so that it does not unravel.

To make up:

Shaping the eye sockets x2Use a long length of col Black and a tapestry needle,insert it in the middle beneath the head and exiting on the inner edge of first eye, leave a longish tail at the entry point. Re-insert needle at the outer edge of the eye and through to the tail left at the entry point. Tug ends until eye and bottom of head indent. Tie securely together and weave in ends.

The earsFold in half and stitch closed around curved edge.Using the yarn end, sew the straight edge to the top of the head in a shallow ‘U’ shape.

Attaching head to body Position head so the indentation beneath the head fits neatly atop the body piece. Sew in place using col Natural.

The paws x2Use a length of col Natural make two long stitches working from back to front on each paw, pulling each of them tight to create slight indentations.

The arms x2Use a long length of col Black. Insert needle through one button, then through upper part of arm leaving a long tail. Decide where you wish to attach the arms and insert needle through the body from the right to the left. Insert needle through upper inside of the other arm, through a second button, back through the arm and through body exiting at the same point you entered. Repeat this step and then, pull both ends of yarn tightly so that the arms sit snug against the sides of the body. Tie a double knot and weave the ends into the body.

The legs x2Repeat as for arms.
