Lapa's Crochets

I used 3,5mm hook to make this. You can choose your yarn and hook as you see fit as long as there aren’t any visible holes in the finished plushie. The height from legs to ears is around 11-12cm.

You’ll need:

hook

yarn needle

yarn in the following colors: brown, white

dark brown felt

black felt OR safety eyes

glue

polyester filling

Note: I don’t have safety eyes yet so I just used black felt to make the eyes. Feel free to use safety eyes!

Abbreviations:

st - stich

sc - single crochet

inc - increase

dec - decrease

hdc - half double crochet

Head Start with brown yarn 1. 6 sc magic ring (6) 2. inc in each st around (12) 3. [inc, sc 1] x 6 (18) 4. [inc, sc 2] x 6 (24) 5.-6. sc in each st around (24) 7.  [inc, sc 3] x 6 (30) 8. sc in each st around (30) 9. [dec, sc 3] x 6 (24) 10. [dec, sc 2] x 6 (18)

Switch to white yarn. Next part might be a bit confusing but I’ll add pictures to show you the process.

Now the head part should look like this (1. picture)

Finish off, leaving a really long tail. If you’re using safety eyes, put them on now. Stuff until you reach the white yarn. Turn the white part over the brown and sew it on to make the white fluff (2. picture). Be careful to not let the filling escape since the head will remain open until you attach the body to it.

Details If you’re not using safety eyes, cut two circles from black felt to make the eyes. Cut the inner parts of the ears from dark brown felt.

Assembling

Now that you have all the parts, it’s time to assemble it! Sew body and head together, body part’s opening a bit inside the head’s white fluff. It’s a bit hard but you can do it! Glue dark brown felt to the ears before attaching ears to the head. Attach arms and legs to the sides. Glue the eyes. If you want, you can sew the nose and the mouth or make them from felt, I just felt that it would be cuter without them.

Note: You can attach the parts in different order, whatever is easier for you! Though in this pattern, it’s best to sew body and head together before moving on to the other parts. I also used pins to help me position the pieces together.

I used 3,5mm hook to make this. You can choose your yarn and hook as you see fit as long as there aren’t any visible holes in the finished plushie. The height from legs to the top of the head is 7cm, from legs to ears around 9-10cm.  

You’ll need:

hook

yarn needle

yarn in the following colors: yellow, black, brown

red felt

black and white felt OR safety eyes

glue

polyester filling

Note: I don’t have safety eyes so I just used black and white felt to make the eyes. Feel free to use safety eyes!

Tail As I said before, I used an already existing pattern to make the tail. I don’t claim to own the pattern, I just found it while searching for tutorials to make the tail and it’s purely amazing. I thank the creator for sharing it with us all! I used the normal tail instructions to make mine but feel free to use the flat tail tutorial if you find it easier to make!

Face Cut two circles from red felt to make the cheek marks. 

If you’re NOT using safety eyes: Cut two black circles and two small white circles to make the eyes.

Assembling

Now that you have all the parts, it’s time to assemble it! Sew body and head together. Attach arms, legs and ears to the sides. Sew two brown lines to the back side to make the stripes before sewing the tail (picture below). Glue the eyes and cheek marks. If you want, you can sew the nose and the mouth or make them from felt, I just felt that it would be cuter without them.

Note: You can attach the parts in different order, whatever is easier for you! Some prefer to attach the arms and legs first before sewing the head to the body. I also used pins to help me position the pieces together.

I used 3,5mm hook to make this. You can choose your yarn and hook as you see fit as long as there aren’t any visible holes in the finished plushie. Diameter of its body is around 5cm, height from legs to ears is around 7cm.

Assembling

Note: I found it easier to sew the face before attaching the ears but you can do what’s best for you! I also used pins to help me position the pieces together.
