Materials Needed:

• Medium 4 weight yarn (100% acrylic suggested)
• 4 mm crochet hook (The yarn recommends a 5.5 mm hook, but a smaller hook is used for tighter stitches)
• A smaller crochet hook for the tongue and finishing
• Crochet marker or ribbon
• Yarn needle
• Safety eyes
• Stuffing material

Pattern Steps:

Starting and the Head:

1. Start with a magic ring.
2. Chain one, then make 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring.
3. Place a marker to keep track of rounds; consider using a ribbon.
4. Continue in a spiral, adding stitches as per the pattern.
5. Round 2: Make 2 sc in each stitch around for a total of 12 stitches.
6. Attach the tongue by chaining 5, cut leaving a longer loop, secure in the center of the magic ring.
7. Round 3: Increase every alternate stitch to get 18 stitches (2 sc in the first stitch, then 1 sc in the next, repeat around).

Body:

8. Rounds 4 and 5: 18 sc around without increasing.
9. Round 6: Pattern of 5 sc, then an increase; repeat this three times for a total of 21 stitches.
10. Round 7: Start with 3 increases, 7 sc, another 3 increases, then 8 sc, ending with 27 stitches.
11. Round 8: Begin with 1 sc, an increase, and repeat three times. Then, 7 sc, repeat the 1 sc and increase again to end with 8 sc after the pattern repeats, totaling 33 stitches.
12. Rounds 9-11: sc around without increases, maintaining 33 stitches.
13. Next, start decreasing: Begin with 7 sc, then a decrease (pull a loop through the front loops of the next two stitches), 5 sc, another decrease, ending the round after 15 sc with a final decrease.

Tail:

14. Begin rounds with decreases to shape the tail, decreasing from 30 stitches down to 24 by doing a decrease, then 3 sc, repeated six times.
15. Insert the safety eyes between rounds 5 and 6, leaving 3-4 stitches between them. Begin stuffing the body.
16. Continue decreasing, alternating rounds of sc and decreases to shape the tail further down to 15 stitches.
17. For the length of the body (approximately 34 inches suggested in the video), continue with sc in a spiral without increases or decreases.
18. To finish the tail, decrease from 15 stitches down to 12, then to 9, and finally 6 stitches.
19. Close the tail by sewing through the front loops of the remaining stitches and pulling tight.

Finishing Touches:

• Weave in any loose ends.
• Add any additional detailing or personal touches.
