MC- Magic circle
SC- Single crochet
SC INC- Single crochet increase
INV DEC- Invisible decrease
HDC- Half double crochet

St(s) – Stitch(es)
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 legs, body and head will be made as one piece. I recommend tight stitches and firm stuffing to help avoid a wobbly neck.

Round 25: Chain 3 and attach to the first leg with a SC (make sure both of your feet are facing the same direction), SC in the remaining stitches around the leg, when you reach the chain make a SC across each of the 3 chains, SC in the remaining stitches of the next leg and SC across each of the 3 chains (you will have SC on both sides of the 3 chains now) (42 SC) This completes your join and is where your next round will start.

Nose- Using pink embroidery thread place the nose one row beneath your eyes and two stitches in on each side (this will leave 3 stitches in the middle and is what you will pass your thread through to create the nose). Use your thread to make a straight line down 2 rows for the mouth.

Assembly
1. Sew the arms onto the body centered with the head at row 44.
2. Next, sew the ears onto the head. I started at round 4 and ended at round 6.
3. Sew each suspender onto row 31, front and back over the arms.
4. Lastly, sew your bow tie just below the neckline.
