Note: if you never worked with plush yarn – crochet slowly and attentively!
It is easy to crochet, but you can’t uncrochet it. If your stitches are caught up,
crochet again, while your thread is well.

(grabbing loops of the head and

Инстаграм @_varezhka_handmade Бажина Юлия https://vk.com/varezhkahandmade Страница 7

Place the muzzle as pictured below. The upper edge of the muzzle is close to mr of
the head (as it pictured below)

Stuff while sewing.

Note: sew all the details with strong sewing thread.

Do not use plush yarn to sew. Use cotton or semi cotton yarn. Take any
color, the thread is invisible inside 

Инстаграм @_varezhka_handmade Бажина Юлия https://vk.com/varezhkahandmade Страница 8

Step 1 row down from the beginning of the muzzle and embroider nose (as
pictured below)

Nose surface is 4 st, sew 5-6 times in one and the same place, hide the
thread into a mr or 1 st below.

Fasten off the thread in the bottom of the head

Embroider eyes

Инстаграм @_varezhka_handmade Бажина Юлия https://vk.com/varezhkahandmade Страница 9

Use black plush yarn, or cotton or synthetic.
Sometimes I use Yarn Art Jeans, but it is thin, that’s why I recommend you to use
thick yarn))
Find best place to embroider eyes (I embroider close to the muzzle, 2 stitches
below than grey nose, as pictured below).
All the actions are shown below.
Pull out the thread at the beginning of the
eye and insert in the end (pic 1,2), then
make 2 stitches. In this case eyes are
semicircular right shape.

If you use cotton yarn, make more stitches (~5)

It is important to place eyes symmetrically, pin if it is necessary.

Embroider eyelashes at will))
Fasten off the thread.

Embroider spots on the head,

skip 4 rows from nose, the distance between spots is about 1,5 st (show your
fantasy).

Horns
Horns are made by different schemes to crochet them symmetrically.

Stuff tight and gradually.

The 1st horn:

1. Start 6 SC in a mr
2. Inc in each stitch=12st
3. SC=12st
4. SC=12st
From the 5th to the 20th row crochet: 2 dec, 3 SC, 2 INC, 3 SC=12st
Do not stuff last row tight. It will help to sew horns with a little curve.

The 2nd horn:

1. Start 6 SC in a mr
2. Inc in each stitch =12st
3. SC=12st
4. SC=12st
From the 5th to the 20th row crochet: 2 INC, 3 SC, 2 dec, 3 SC=12st

Tail consists of 2 identical parts (light and dark color)

1. Pick up 11 ch

2. Turn, work from the 2nd ch, crochet by 1 side of the chain:

4 dc, 3 hdc, 2 SC, 3 SC in the last stitch

Continue working into the unused loops on the opposite side of the chain (it means
that you crochet the chain around):

2 SC, 3 hdc, 4 dc.

Do not cut dark yarn.

Join 2 parts together and crochet around with sc, make inc in the corner (crochet 2
SC in 1 stitch)

Body

Use Puffy yarn

First of all, do not use crochet hook)))!
Watch the video. All the actions are clear

VIDEO https://youtu.be/LBThg0llyyk

You can choose any Puffy design, I use plain knitting and turn inside out + place
the rows along.
I recommend to use monochrome yarn. I like it, plain knitting looks like pompons.
Choose any design you want

Measures

The body is “sweater with collar” that’s why follow these instructions:
Count 21 st and work 18 rows. It is possible to increase or short the length or make
it wider. Just count more or less stitches.
The width of the body is 20-23 cm (7’8-9’05 inch), length 35-38 cm (13’7-14’9inch)
(containing collar).

Инстаграм @_varezhka_handmade Бажина Юлия https://vk.com/varezhkahandmade Страница

22
If you use another design, measures may differ (standard width (without collar)
20-23 cm (7’8-9’05 inch), length 29-32 cm (11’4-12’5 inch), this body size is good
for this PJ bag :)

And good news) Puffy yarn is easy to unknit as many times as you wish))) it won’t
spoil or damage as plush yarn for example :)

Инстаграм @_varezhka_handmade Бажина Юлия https://vk.com/varezhkahandmade Страница

23
Body

Pompon yarn

First you need to make 2 loops, and the 1st pull through the 2nd

(All difficult parts of crocheting are shown in the video

https://youtu.be/1pYoi5LG9OQ
Then crochet chain, use thread, do not use pompons.

Инстаграм @_varezhka_handmade Бажина Юлия https://vk.com/varezhkahandmade Страница

24
I crochet chain 25-27 ch length (due to the yarn). If you use another pompon yarn,
the length of the chain is ~ 38 - 42 cm (14’9 -16’5 inch).
Join a circle and continue crocheting sc.
It is hard to crochet the 1st row: do not wrap the thread, align it from time to time
(watch the video to crochet well).
You need to crochet 13 rows (28-30 cm -11’02-11’8 inch)

Инстаграм @_varezhka_handmade Бажина Юлия https://vk.com/varezhkahandmade Страница

25
It is easy to crochet next rows :). If you want to make the body wider, crochet BLO
(back loops only) (w. video)
If you want to make the body tight, crochet using both loops.
I crochet for both loops only final row (the row that is close to the head).

Note: Pompon yarn tip may disband, that’s why you need to singe the tip of it, or
put some glue to fasten off the thread.

Final size of the body 20* 30 cm.

When you finished, align pompons to look the body better.

Инстаграм @_varezhka_handmade Бажина Юлия https://vk.com/varezhkahandmade Страница

26
Sew horns
Find the best place to sew them. Sew as pictured below, if you want to get Mr.
Lamb 

If you want to curve them, sew as pictured below. Use strong thread. It is
obligatory to sew well.

Инстаграм @_varezhka_handmade Бажина Юлия https://vk.com/varezhkahandmade Страница

27
Do not hesitate to sew horns differently. Show your fantasy) Watch the photos
and find the difference)

Инстаграм @_varezhka_handmade Бажина Юлия https://vk.com/varezhkahandmade Страница

28
When the body is ready you need to assembly all the parts together.

Инстаграм @_varezhka_handmade Бажина Юлия https://vk.com/varezhkahandmade Страница

29
Sew the head
Grab a loop of the body and the head alternately.

If you use Puffy, bend the collar first (3 rows)

Do not afraid to sew the body up to the muzzle (approx. half of the muzzle below
the nose will hide under the body)

Инстаграм @_varezhka_handmade Бажина Юлия https://vk.com/varezhkahandmade Страница

30
 A body covers half of the muzzle

While sewing correct the width

of the body due to the head
(sew in a stitch if necessary).

Инстаграм @_varezhka_handmade Бажина Юлия https://vk.com/varezhkahandmade Страница

31
Sew ears
I advise you very much to sew ears after the body was sewn. This is necessary in
order to see and try on what level to attach them. Above-below, determine the
location

Инстаграм @_varezhka_handmade Бажина Юлия https://vk.com/varezhkahandmade Страница

32
Sew front paws
Place the paws as pictured below.

for pompon yarn: step 2pompon rounds) and sew paws. Grab loops of the body
and paws alternately. Place as you wish

Инстаграм @_varezhka_handmade Бажина Юлия https://vk.com/varezhkahandmade Страница

33
Sew back paws
Bend one row below (if you want) and sew hand (for pompon yarn: step a row
below). Place paws from sides.

Инстаграм @_varezhka_handmade Бажина Юлия https://vk.com/varezhkahandmade Страница

34
Sew tail
Step 4 rows from bottom (as you want), find the middle and sew.

Insert elastic
Pull under the stitches of the first row (Pompon yarn), when tips meet, insert them
into the slide lock, make knots and pull
