Part 3

HANDS

Make two. Using colour (NATURAL), make a magic circle.

Helpful hint: we are working in rounds.

Round 1

Ch 1 (does not count as a st), sc 6 into mc, place st marker into 6^th sc and continue to work in the round (6 sc).

Helpful hint: move the stitch marker and place in the last stitch of each round; this will help keep your stitch count correct and help with round counting. Because we are working quite tightly in the round, I weave my beginning tail in whilst working round 2.

Round 2

*Sc 2 into next st* rep *.* 5 more times (12 sc).

Round 3

*Sc 2 into next st, sc into next st* rep *.* 5 more times (18 sc).

Round 4

*Sc 2 into next st, sc into next 2 sts* rep *.* 5 more times (24 sc).

Rounds 5 – 9

Sc into next 24 sts (24 sc).

Round 10 – making the thumb

Make a 5 tr cl into next st, sc into next 23 sts (1 x 5 tr cl, 23 sc).

Helpful hint: when working the next round, you need to make a single crochet into the top of the 5 treble cluster stitch.

Round 16

Sc into next 17 sts, inv sc2tog (18 sc).

Rounds 17 – 21

Sc into next 18 sts (18 sc).

Round 22

Sc into next 13 sts (or as many as you need) so that you end up on the side opposite the thumb, ss into next st (13 sc), leave remaining sts unworked, then stuff the hand, be careful not to overstuff, ss the opening closed in BLO (9 ss), cut yarn and weave in end.

Helpful hint: we will attach the front paws to the sleeves when we attach the sleeves to the body in Part 6.

SLEEVES

Make two. Using colour (BURNT ORANGE), leave a 30 cm starting tail which we will use to attach the arms to the sleeves in Part 6, chain 22 and slip stitch into the 1^st chain to make a circle.

Helpful hint: we are working in rounds.

Round 1 – cuff of sleeve

Ch 1 (does not count as a st), dc into same st, dc into next 21 chs, ss into 1^st st (22 dc).

Rounds 2 – 3

Ch 1 (does not count as a st), sc into same st, sc into next 21 sts, ss into 1^st st (22 sc), ss the opening closed in BLO (11 ss), cut yarn leaving a 35 cm tail.

Helpful hint: we will attach the front paws to the sleeves, and the sleeves to the body in Part 6.

LEGS

Make two. Using colour (NATURAL), chain 10.

Helpful hint: we are working in rounds.

Round 1

Sc into 2^nd ch from hook, sc into next 7 chs, sc 5 into last ch, working back along the other side of the chs, sc into next 7 chs, sc 2 into last ch (22 sc).

Helpful hint: we will attach the legs to the body in Part 6.

BOOTS

Make two. Using colour (MAHOGANY), chain 10.

Helpful hint: the boots are a snug fit, so if you struggle a little bit, which is the way it was designed, but if you are worried that it will not fit the foot, then go up half a hook size – do not forget to go back down when the boots are finished.
