The Pattern
Use the checkboxes to track your progress
01Color Chart Key
Border = Stitch Type
Look at the border of the square to signify the stitch used
sc = Single Crochet
dec = Decrease
invdec = Invisible Decrease
bo = Bobble Stitch
Brackets = Where to work the stitch
Boxes connected by brackets signify where that stitch is worked into (ie. worked into the same st)
inc = Increase (worked into the same stitch)
BLO = Worked into the back loop only (furthest loop)
FLO = Worked into the front loop only (closest loop)
Color Key
Look at the colors in the square to determine the color of the stitch.
Solid bordered squares with two colors require a half color change. Make the first pull through, completing the previous stitch, with the first color (Red), and next with the second color (Green).
The number above of the box is the stitch number in that round (ie. 10 = stitch #10).
Other Notes
= Where to place the eyes
= Time codes pertain to pattern video

Adding the Face:
Start by adding the eyes. If you want them to be red try painting them with some finger nail polish, or use a bullion knot with red yarn. Both eyes go in Rnd 7 The right eye goes in stitch 2, and the left goes in stitch 6. Try to get the eye into the center of the stitch, it helps to use a darning needle poked through and twisted to create space to more easily fit the eye into.
For more help on customizing eyes see this tutorial.
Rnd 11: sc in each st (18)
Underlined = Worked in the BLO
Rnd 12: sc 2, bo 1, sc 4, bo 1, sc 10 (18)
Sewing together:
Sew the Cape between Rnd 8 and 9 by going from the top of the left arm, across the back and to the other
arm. Sew on the Collar just over the cape into the same stitches.
Finally add a bow tie by embroidering an “X“over the white stitches in Rnd 9
Rnd 13: [sc 1, dec 1] repeat 6 times (12)
