Use the end of the thread to sew the head on the body.

Body: using red and yellow
*When I made my Pooh I forgot to start with red. I ended up making a shirt and sliding it on afterwards. However, I think it would be much easier to crochet with red from round 1-13 then make rounds 14 and on in yellow. The pattern below is what I think it should be.

In Red:
Sc 4 In magic circle
1 - Inc*4 - 8 st
2 - (sc, Inc)*4 - 12 st
3 - (2 sc, Inc)*4 - 16 st
4 - (3 sc, Inc)*4 - 20 st

8-13 - sc around - 32 st
14-20 - switch to yellow, then sc around - 32 st
21 - (6 sc, Dec)*4 - 28 st
22 - (5 sc, Dec)*4 - 24 st
23 - (4 sc, Dec)*4 - 20 st

Stuff

Fo, leaving a long tail.

Legs: In yellow
*I used the front leg pattern from my Eeyore. I think I only crocheted through round 12 then I sc2tog the leg closed. I don't think I did rounds 13-18, but don't remember for sure.
Ch 4
1: Starting in 2nd ch from hook, Inc, SC, 3 SC in last st, SC, SC

*See note above. Eeyore 13-17: sc around
Finish stuffing
18: Dec around until closed, FO leaving a long tail.

Ears: I forget for sure what I did but I think it was something along the lines of:
1: 4 sc in mc - 4
2: ch 1, turn, 4 inc - 8
finish off. Fold the ends together to create a curved ear and sew on.

Embroider eyes and a nose. Add keychain.

18" Doll Cardigan or Vest

This is the pattern I used for the doll cardigan.



Peter Rabbit Crochet Amigurumi Pattern




This rabbit was a conglomeration of 7 different patterns, so I wrote out the combined pattern below.
I was using up odds and ends so I ended up using #3 light blue yarn and #4 dark brown yarn. The sweater was a teeny bit tight, so I think using #4 light blue yarn would work better. Also, if you are trying to replicate Peter Rabbit, light brown thread would be a bit better.

1 skein: light brown #4 yarn
H crochet hook
A little bit of pink yarn for the nose
Plastic eyes or black thread
