GUAGE
Not really important, I crochet a normal tension if you know you
crochet loosely or tightly then adjust the hook accordingly.
My one measured just over 16” tall approx. to the top of his twigs.
 I tried to make this as simple as possible but I try & strive for all
my toys to be accurate. Any problems with my pattern please email
me helunique@sky.com & I will try to help.

Voila he is done. The picture on the last page is the same as the first
so isn’t necessary for printing; it is for placement & shape
reference.

I completed the head & sewed all the pieces on before completing
the rest of him as there were a lot of loose ends but it is up to you
how you wish to make him. He should sit up once he is finished.
