Notes:
-You can make this pattern without the crocheted parts. I have included instructions for the arms and legs with and without crocheted details.
-The tongue is crocheted. However, you could potentially create a tongue with an i-cord knitter if you have one.
-When casting off with waste yarn, I recommend 10 rows to be sure of no dropped stitches. I used medium/moderate tension for all pieces
