Leg B (dc with bobble)

switch yarn to Body color

Start first row on last row of feet.

How to do FPbobble

    Yarn over like you are going to do a dc. (2 loops on hook)

    Instead of going into the next stitch like normal you will go around the post of the stitch.

Yarn over and pull out of the post. (3 loops on hook)

Yarn over again (4 loops on hook) and pull through two loops so that there are only 2 loops left on the hook.

Repeat this a total of 4 times (always pulling through first 2 loops on hook) so that you have a total of 6 loops on the hook. This time you will pull through the first 2 loops and end with 2 loops on hook.

Yarn over and pull through 2 loops.  FPbobble stitch is complete.

For the next stitch (dc) you will yarn over and do a normal dc stitch but directly into the stitch as close to the bobble stitch as you can get.

Start cutting and knotting each color change. This will make the work less bulky when you fold the ear over at a later step.   (see Figure 1)

You should now have a large circle that is half light gray and half pink (see Figure 2).

Closing the Ear: Fold the circle in half along the color divide with the tail ends inside the work. With the light gray side facing you, crochet row 15 through both layers to close the ear.rw t

15. LG (for remainder of ears): ch 1, sc 42 (see Figure 3 

      & Figure 4) [42]

Creating the Ear Fold: Turn the ear so you’re working on the flat edge of the half circle where the two colors meet. In the next row, you will create the ear fold by aligning one corner with the magic ring from round 01, then crocheting through both layers for seven stitches to join.

Ear 1: 16. ch 1, sc 14 (see Figure 5), align left corner with 

            magic ring and create ear fold: (sc 7) 

            (see Figure 6) [21]

Fasten off, leaving a 6-inch (15cm) yarn tail. Secure with a knot, then hide the tail inside the work. 

Ear 2: Fasten off row 15, leaving a 6-inch (15cm) yarn 

tail. Secure with a knot, then hide the tail work.

With light gray yarn, create a slip knot on your hook, leaving a 6-inch (15cm) yarn tail:

16. align right corner with magic ring and create ear fold: 

      (sc 7) (see Figure 7), sc 14 [21]

Fasten off, leaving a 6-inch (15cm) yarn tail. Secure with a knot, then hide both the starting and ending yarn tails inside the work.

Finished ears should be mirror images of each other (see Figure 8). The ears are now ready to attach as you crochet the head at a later step.

Attach the yarn to ch1 in round 27.

28) ch1 (the first stitch of a round 28), 55 sc (56). 

Do not cut the yarn! Ch4 and attach the yarn with sc into ch1 in round 28. This is the first stitch

Adding the Safety Eyes: Using straight pins, mark location of eyes 20 stitches apart between rounds 24 & 25, centered above the trunk (see Figure 9). 

Replace straight pins with safety eyes, then secure backings. 

Indenting the Eyes: Using an 18-inch (46cm) strand of light gray yarn and a yarn needle, indent the eyes by adding tension between them.  Do a set of tightening above and below the eyes.

Plarn Bag

 Plarn  (~50 grocery bags)

6mm hook

Terms:

ch: chain

sc: single crochet

      sc24: means to do a sc in the next 24 stitches

      2sc: means that you do 2 sc in the same stitch

inc: increase stitch (same as 2sc)

     2inc: means you will do 2sc(2), or in other words you will put 2 sc in the same stitch two times.

Base of Bag

Start with ~2 thick plastic bags cut into plarn.

Make a slip knot, ch27.

2sc in 2nd loop from hook, sc24, 2sc last loop (where slip knot started)

go to other side of chain and start again

2sc in slip knot loop (crochet over slip knot tail.  This is actually putting 4 sc in the slip knot loop), sc24, 2sc in last loop of round.

do 2 rows of continuous rounds of sc with thick plastic plarn.  

1 round of thick plarn (56 stitches).

When you add on the thinner plastic plarn do 2inc stitches at both corners of the bag.  This will give 1 round of the thin plarn (60 stitches)

The remaining bag will be continuous sc till you have between 32-34 rounds.

Handle

When you finish your last round go sc3 past the corner, ch1, turn, (sc6, ch1, turn) x 62. (63 rounds)

Make sure strap is not twisted. Sc through both strap and other corner of bag.  Fasten off & Weave in ends.  

Note:  Typically you can get 6 (sc) out of one cut from the grocery bag.  Each round of the bag is 60 (sc) with the thin plarn so that would be at least 1 whole grocery bags worth of material.  I did  the plarn bag pictured, going from bottom to top (after the thick plarn base):

2 rounds grey

2 rounds white 

2 rounds brown

5 rounds grey

2 rounds red

10 rounds white

2 rounds red

5 rounds grey

2 rounds brown

brown handle (63 rounds of sc6 ~7 bags worth)

So I would make sure that I have the following number of grocery bags to accomplish this design for the plarn bag:

grey = 13

white = 13

brown = 11

red = 5

Thick plastic bag = 2-3

Plarn

Gather together all your plastic bags. Fold each bag over and cut off the top and tail and then cut into 3cm (1.25 in)-wide strips.

Join all your bags together to create one long strip.  Loop the end of one bag over the other bag and then pull the two ends to join. (like joining two rubber bands)

Roll up the long plarn you have created by wrapping the end of the plarn around your thumb, pointer, and index finger about 15 times.  Remove your thumb from the center and continue wrapping (not too tightly) around and around.  See a video of it here.

Materials:
Yarn (4mm recommended hook size or smaller) 
         (pictured is a size 3 yarn with 4mm recommended 
           hook size.  I used a 3.5mm hook)
     Brown - 230 yd
     Blue - 200 yd
     A (stripe) - 100 yd
     B (stripe) - 100 yd
     Light Brown - 25 yd
    plush yarn - 50 yd
Hook (2-3 sizes smaller than 
          yarn recommendation)
Safety Eyes - 2 (10-15mm)
Fiber Fill for stuffing
Tapestry Needle

Stitch Guide:

st = stitch
sts = stitches
sl st = slip stitch
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
inc = increase (2sc in one stitch)
dec = decrease (flo next 2 st,yo, pull through flo stitches, yo, pull through both loops on hook)
yo = yarn over
flo = front loop only
blo - back loop only
FO = Fasten Off
IFO = invisible Fasten Off
WE = weave in ends (needs at least a 6 inch tail)
IS = invisible sew
MR = magic ring

Notes:

1.  Do not work with really dark yarn.  A personal preference with my aging eyes.  Really hard to see the stitches

2. Color changes happen on EVEN row numbers

    DO NOT cut threads between color changes.  

    Tie in square knots the two colors after working a 

    few rows in the beginning.  

3. sc 2 = single crochet in the next 2 stitches

    2sc = 2 single crochets in the next stitch

4. Use round marker for starting rounds.

3. R1 = Round 1 or Row 1

         (rows are only worked in bib and suspenders       

         for overalls)
