Add eyes 2 stitches away from the mbo from Rnd 5. Use a strand of Skin Tone yarn under the eye knotted on the inside to make bags under the eyes to add character.

Sew on the arms on either side of the body into the brown stitches. Use a pipe cleaner bent in half and twisted, then inserted through the body prior to sewing to make them poseable.

Sew on the Shoulder Pads over the arms where they have been seemed onto the body.

Rnd 11: [sc 1, dec 1] repeat 6 times (12)

Stuff fully

Rnd 12: dec in each st (6)

Cut the yarn and pull through. Stuff fully (include a heavy coin for added weight) and sew closed.

Cut strands of yarn in your Hair Color about 1 ft long, fold in half and thread under the nose so that each end is equally as long.

Cut a few more strands of Hair Color and using your crochet hook, pull a loop through the stitches just over the ears with the hook pointing towards the face. Pull the ends through the loop to create a knot. You should now have 4 pairs of ends coming out from either side of the bottom of the nose and over each of the ears. Repeat this process using additional strands of yarn to create a more full beard and mustache.

Use a new strand of Gold yarn (or whatever color you would like to use for a hair tie), go through the body from the back, and come out at the base of the belly. Pull the hair ends from both sides of the ears towards the center of the body and loop around them a few times with the gold yarn to lock it down to the body and create a beard.

Enter back into the body and come out of the front of the body from where the shoulder pad is sewn on. Wrap around one side of the mustache hair ends to hold it down over the ear ends to create a mustache over the beard.

Enter back into the body and come out a few stitches directly
under, and wrap around the same mustache end to lock it down just above the feet.

Enter back into the body and come out from the other end to repeat the process for the other half of the mustache.

Enter back into the body and exit where you originally entered with the strand of gold yarn. Cut the yarn, double knot, and stuff back into the body.

To create hair on the top of the head use additional strands of hair color yarn. Fold in half and pull a loop through stitches at the top of the head. Make sure the hook is pointing towards the back of the body when pulling the loop through to make the hair stay pointed towards the back. Pull the ends through the loop made to lock the yarn down. Add as many hair strands to the top of the head as you feel is necessary.

Tie these ends down to the back of the head with gold yarn using a similar method as the facial hair to create a ponytail in the back.

You can also embroider on an additional strand of hair yarn over the eyes to add eyebrows!
