 NOTE! Yarn consumption, size, and appearance of the toy depend on
crochet density and how you hold the yarn.
The presented toy is crocheted with V look single crochet.

The finished toy using the materials stated in this pattern is ~9.4 inches / 24
cm in height with legs.

Make sure you crochet tight enough; otherwise, the stuffing will show
through the holes.
Crochet the toy in continuous spirals without a turning chain.

Embroider the eyes:
Mark the position of the eyes and mouth and embroider.
Embroider the eyes, as guided in the photo below. It is more comfortable to
embroider the eyelashes with a thinner needle.
Embroider the mouth. Once you finished embroidering, you need to dray the
needle to the bottom and tie three knots. Cut off the thread if the tails are too
long.
