Crochet Microamigurumi Chipmunk Pattern

Here is a pattern for a micro chipmunk I just made. I couldn't get a good picture of it, but the actual chipmunk looks decently realistic.


Supplies:
1 skein of brown embroidery floss
white & black embroidery floss for accents
#12 crochet hook
Keychain ring (optional)

Head
3 sc in mc. - 3
Rnd 1: Inc around. -6
Rnd 2: (sc, inc)3 times. - 9
Rnd 3: [2 sc, inc] 3 times. - 12
Rnd 4: Sc evenly around. - 12
Rnd 5: [3 sc, inc] 3 times. - 15
Rnd 6: [4 sc, inc] 3 times. - 18
Rnd 7: [5 sc, inc] 3 times. - 21
Rnd 8: [6 sc, inc] 3 times. - 24
Rnds 9-10: Sc evenly around. - 24
Mark stitches for eyes between Rounds 9 and 10, 7 sts apart. Position eyes so the space between them is on a flat side of the head, giving the chipmunk a flat forehead and face.
Rnd 11: [2 sc, dec] 6 times. - 18
Stuff.
Rnd 12: [sc, dec] 6 times. - 12
Rnd 13: Dec 6 times. - 6
Finish off.

Ears: guestimate the proper positioning.
Insert the hook into the head in the stitch you want the ear, then:
All in 1st stitch: Attach thread by pulling up a sl st, ch 1, hdc, dc
In next stitch: dc, hdc, sl st, finish off
Repeat for the other ear.

Finish off but don't attach to body until foot is made.

Foot: keep placing the leg against the side of the body to make sure the foot goes the correct direction. It's easy to make the foot backwards because of rows 2-4
