For the instructions, I used #4 worsted-weight medium yarn so that the stitches would be easily visible. Feel free to use whatever yarn you are more comfortable with.

The pattern is written in US term crochet shorthand and utilizes the following:
– Magic ring / magic circle
– Single crochet
– Working in Front Loop Only and Back Loop only
– Increase (two single crochet stitches in the same hole)
– Invisible decrease (decrease stitch using just the front loops)
–Back Loop Only decrease (decrease stitch using just the back loops)
–Half-Double crochet
–Double crochet
–3 Double Crochet Cluster (series of 3 unfinished double crochet stitches together)
–4 Double Crochet Cluster (series of 4 unfinished double crochet stitches together)
– Slip stitch join
– Slip stitch
– Chains (creating and working in chains)

Materials needed:
– Your choice of yarn
– A crochet hook
– Stitch marker (optional but helpful!)
– Darning needle /blunt sewing needle: This pattern doesn’t require sewing, but using a blunt sewing needle helps in hiding yarn tails.
– Poly-fill stuffing
– Safety eyes
Please note: Safety eyes are small components that may be considered a choking hazard. Not recommended for small children.
Alternatively, you could embroider the eyes!
