SPECIAL STITCHES
 Other side of the foundation chains - this VIDEO explains how to do this technique.

 BODY with white
  Rnd 1: 13hdc in magic ring, sl st into 1st st, ch2 (13)
  Rnd 2: *2hdc in each st* repeat from * to * 11 more times, 3hdc in last st, sl st into 1st st (27)
  Rnd 3: *sc+2hdc+sc in next st, sk next st, sl st in next st* repeat from * to * all the way around, sl st into 1st st (9 shells created)
F/O, secure and weave in the ends.

HEAD w/ EARS with beige
  Row 1: ch3, sc in 2nd ch from hook, 4sc in next ch, sc in next ch, ch1, turn (6)
  Row 2: sc in next 2 sts, 2sc in next 2 sts, sc in next 2 sts, ch1, turn (8)
  Row 3: sc in each st, when you get to the last st ch4 and sl st into 4th ch, sl st across the top part (flat side), ch4 and sl st into 4th ch
F/O, secure and weave in the ends.

FLUFF on top of the head with white
  Rnd 1: ch4, sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next ch, 2sc in last st, other side of the foundation chains sc in next 2 sts, sl st into 1st st (6)
  Rnd 2: *ch2, sc in 2nd ch from hook, sl st in next ch* repeat from * to * all the way around, sl st into 1st st (6 picot sts created)
F/O, secure and weave in the ends.


ASSEMBLE
     I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the yarn in the end from the finish pieces to sew them in place but I personally like to use matching thread).
     Sew the head to the body between round 1 or in the position you like best but don’t sew the ears down.
     Sew the fluff just above the head. Don’t completely sew it down; just sew across the top of it.
     Let’s make the little feet…by attaching the beige yarn in the back loops between round 2 and 3. ch5, sc in the 2nd ch from hook and across (4) F/O, secure and weave in the ends. Do the same for the other foot. Now if you like, you can sew the feet down so they’re not all wobbly.

     With black embroidery floss let’s make those little eyes and mouth. Make a little bow and you can either sew it on or glue it in place.

ASSEMBLE 

     I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best. (Most people like to use the yarn in the end from the finish pieces to sew them in place but I personally like to use matching thread).

     Sew the bow either on the left or right side between the rounds where we did the color change on the beanie.
