Fasten off and weave in end.

EARS (make 2)

Using brown yarn,

R1: 4 sc in magic ring. (4 sts)

R2: 2 sc in each sc around. (8 sts)

Fasten off and leave long end for sewing.  Sew ontop of head.  Cut two semi-circles out of beige felt.  Glue/sew felt pieces onto ears. 

LEGS (make 2) + BODY

Using pink or blue yarn,

Ch 3

 R1: To make an oval shape, Sc into the left side of the next three chains.  Sc into the right side of the same three chains. (6 sts)  See diagram below (stitch # in brackets):

R2: 2 sc in each sc around. (12 sts)

R3: In back loops only, Sc 12. (12 sts)

R4: Sc 4, dec 1, dec 1, Sc 4. (10 sts)

R5: Sc 3, dec 1, dec 1, Sc 3.  (8 sts)

R6-8: Sc 8 (8 sts)

For the first leg, fasten off (no need to leave long end for sewing).  For the second leg, DO NOT cut off the yarn.  Go through both loops of a sc on the current leg (with yarn attached) and then both loops of a sc on the first leg (4 loops on hook together).  Sc all 4 loops together.  Sc around the legs (going around first leg and then second leg) working clockwise around the join.  There should be 14 stitches that we single crocheted normally with the join (connecting both legs) bringing the total to 15 stitches.  What we just did will count as the first row of the body: 

BODY
