Step by step Pattern
Body:

- Increase round: Chain 2 (counts as first sc), 2 sc in each sc around. Slip stitch to join. You should have 12 sc.
- Continue increasing rounds for a few rounds to create the base of the body. Then, continue crocheting rounds without increasing or decreasing until the body is almost the desired length. Stuff the body firmly as you crochet, leaving the top opening unstuffed.
Head:
- Attach orange yarn to the top of the body with a slip stitch.
- Crochet around the top edge of the body to create the neck. You can adjust the number of stitches depending on how thick you want the neck to be.
- Continue crocheting rounds without increasing or decreasing for a few rounds to establish the head shape.
- Shape the head by decreasing stitches as needed to create the round head and muzzle.
- Leave an opening at the bottom of the head for sewing on the ears later.
