UPDATED Farmer Dog in Bib Overalls Stuffed Animal Crochet Pattern

I made this dog and pattern a while back, but in the original post, I noted some changes I'd make if I ever made the dog again. I made another dog and here's the updated pattern. (I did leave the old pattern on the blog, but only for reference. This pattern is much better.)

One thing I did with this puppy is I gave it hinging legs so it could sit down (I used buttons for the hinges).

Dog Pattern:
Using Size 4 yarn and a size G/6-4.00 MM hook

Inc - For this pattern it always means 2 sc in 1 stitch.
Dec - For this pattern it always means sc2tog.
sc - single crochet
hdc - half double crochet
dc - double crochet
sc2tog - sc 2 together
BLO - back loop only
FLO - front loop only

Body:
1: 4 sc in magic circle
2: Inc around - 8
3: (1sc, Inc) around - 12
4: (2 sc, Inc) around - 16
5: (3 sc, Inc) around - 20

32: (5 sc, Dec) around - 24
33: (4 sc, Dec) around - 20
Begin stuffing
34: You will skip making a (3sc, dec) row so the tummy will be flatter on the bottom. Instead...(2 sc, Dec)*5 around - 15
35: (1 sc, Dec) around - 10
Finish stuffing
36: Dec around until closed.
Finish off and weave in tail.

Overall Pattern

Front panel:
Ch 11
1: Beginning in 3rd ch, dc across - 9
2: ch 2, turn, dc across - 9
Finish off.

Waist:
3: ch 29, sl st across the 9 dcs of row 2, ch 6, (making sure the chains aren't twisted) join the chains together with a slip stitch.
4-11: ch 2, beginning in stitch you made the sl st in dc across, join to top of ch with a sl st - 44
12: (this round will vary a bit depending on the placement of the tail) ch 2, dc 8, ch 5, (skip 5 stitches), dc 31 - 44
13: ch 2, dc 44 across - 44

First leg:
14:ch 2, dc 11, ch 7, (skip 22 st) dc 11, sl st to top of 1st st.
15: ch 2, dc 11, (only crochet in back loop of ch so the other leg can be crocheted in front loop) dc 7 across chain, dc 11
16: ch 1, sc around - finish off

Second leg: I started mine in the middle of the inside part of the leg so the seam wouldn't show. However, you could start anywhere on the leg and adjust the pattern accordingly.
1: working in the front loop of the chain, ch 2 in middle (4th) stitch (this counts as your 1st dc) then dc around - 29 (in the 5th dc - the 1st st in the back of the pants - I noticed a hole between the legs. So I made a dc2tog going through the st of the other leg and went on. I did the same for the front leg join.)
2: sl st 4, 22 dc, sl st 3
3: sl st in 1st st & ch 1, sc 29 - finish off

Straps: with the back of the dog facing me, I did the right strap first. I counted back from the edge of the front panel and attached my strap between st 13 & 14. For the left strap, I counted back from the edge of the front panel and attached my strap between st 14 & 15.

Attach yarn & ch 20
Starting in 3rd ch from hook & working in back of chain: 6 dc, hdc, 9 sc, attach to next stitch in overalls.

Sew buttons onto front of overalls.

Ear: 2x
You'll start the ear in the 8th stitch from the last stitch you made around the clip rod.

3. Turn, 4 puff st across
