Special notes: I worked in continuous rounds with a 3.75mm hook and worsted

weight yarn. Have any questions or if you come across a mistake in the pattern

please leave a message in the comment section below. This pattern will give you

a beaver about 6 1/2 inches tall depending on your choice of yarn and hook size.

st = stitch

sc = single crochet
2tog = 2 stitches together

sl st = slip stitch

f/o = finish off

Supplies used:

light brown worsted weight medium #4

dark brown worsted weight medium #4

black sport weight yarn for the nose, you could also use worsted weight

small bits of white felt

hot glue

florist wire for tail - optional

black safety eyes 7.5mm but use any size you like

How to read the rows: Each row has a sequence as given below. For example

1sc then 2sc in next st means repeat that sequence 1sc then 2sc in next st

followed by 1sc then 2sc in next st over and over to the end of that particular

row. The number inside the parentheses ( ~ ) is the number of stitches you

should have at the end of that particular row.

Add a marker at the end of row 2 and move that marker at the end of each row.

Muzzle with Dark Brown

1) magic circle with 6sc(6)

2) 2sc in each st (12)

sl st next st and f/o

Using black yarn or thread, whip stitch the nose in.

Glue or sew a bit of white felt on for the teeth. I glued the piece onto the back of

the muzzle and made sure some was exposed so that you could see the teeth

when the muzzle was sewn in place. Shown below is the back of the muzzle.
HEAD

Remember if you use safety eyes to put them in before closing up the head. I

used a small bit of white felt and hot glued them to the under side of the safety
eyes to add some color. I placed the eyes in between the 10th and 11th row and

they have 8st between them. I put the eyes in place when I finished the 15th row.

The nose was stitched onto the muzzle then the muzzle was sewn in when I

finished the 17th row. This photo shows the muzzle sewn in. I would have

preferred the muzzle just a bit higher than shown, but that is a matter of

preference. Make sure you are happy with placements before permanently

sewing the pieces in.

Body

take a look at the photos below and see how I positioned the body under the

head. You could do it either way you like but if you plan to sew the body on as I

did with the starting magic circle used as the belly button then take care to

finish off the last rows of the body as neat as you can and after you stuff the

body take care not to pull the stuffing through that last couple rows when

closing the gap.

f/o leaving a long tail for sewing. You could add a wire to the tail as I did or you

can leave that part out. If you use the wire then bend the wire and push it into

the tail, making sure the wire outlines the entire inside edge of the tail. Cut the

wire down to size, leaving about 2 inches then bend the tips over so there are no
sharp points. Now bend the exposed wire so that the ends goes up in the

direction of the head then sew the tail in place
