I used Peaches’n’Cream cotton yarn for mine, but you could use any worsted weight yarn for similar results!
Assembly notes are in the pattern.
Materials:
1 Skein Peaches’n’Cream cotton yarn in white
Small amounts of red and pink yarn for face details
Safety eyes in desired size. I used 12 mm.
F/3.75 mm hook
Yarn needle
--BODY--
Row 1. 6 SC in magic ring
Row 3. **2 SC next st, 1 SC next st** x6(18)
Row 4. **2 SC next st, 1 SC next 2 sts** x6 (24)
Row 5. **2 SC next st, 1 SC next 3 sts** x6 (30)
Rows 6 – 16. SC around. (30)
After around 8 total rows, add details of the face and the ears. I made the nose first by sewing on a ‘V” shape into the magic ring, then another line going down. Then, add blush if you want. I used a steep ‘V’ shape for the heart blush and went over the V twice to make it look thicker. Add safety eyes a few rows above the nose. Play with spacing until you like how it looks! Attach the ears at about row 7. Continuing onward, attach the feet
Row 17. **Invisible Decrease, 1 SC next 3 sts** x6 (24)
Row 18. **Invisible Decrease, 1 SC next 2 sts** x6 (18)
Row 19. **Invisible Decrease, 1 SC next st** x6 (12)
Row 20. Invisible Decrease around
--EARS--
Chain 8
3 SC in last chain, SC back to first chain
Chain 1, turn, SC around, F/O
Attach to body at about row 8. Make sure to attach these before closing the body up.
--TAIL--
Make a pompom and attach it using the ends of the yarn.
--FEET--
Row 1. 6 SC in magic ring
Row 2. SC around
F/O and sew onto body.
Alternatively, you can do an HDC bobble stitch on the bottom of the body as you go- 5 HDC in one SC, take hook out, insert through first HDC, Y/O, pull through all 5, and close.
