Materials -

• Size 4 worsted weight yarn (65 yards of orange; small amount of white, dark brown, and choice of color for cheeks/scarf)
• Yarn or craft string to hang ornament (approx. 6 inches long)
• 3.5 mm crochet hook (these are the hooks I use and love!)
• 9mm safety eyes
• Black crochet/embroidery thread for eyelashes/eyebrows/nose

Abbreviations - US terminology

MC- Magic circle

SC- Single crochet

SC INC- Single crochet increase

HDC – Half double crochet

NOTES -

- Slowly stuff as you go, you want it to be firm but not stretched. You will be working in the round; I like to use a stitch marker at the beginning of each round.

- The body and head will be made as one piece.

- Finished ornament measures approximately 4.5 inches tall.
