NOTES
1. Eric is worked in 9 pieces: 2 Arms, Legs-Body-Head, Hair, Pants, 2 Boots, Jacket, and Hat.
2. Arms are worked first and set aside. Legs-Body-Head beg by making 2 Legs that are joined together to
beg working body. When work reaches underarms, Arms are joined then neck and head are worked.
3. Legs-Body-Head, Arms, Hair, Boots, Pants and Hat are worked in continuous rnds (spiral). Do not join
last st of rnds to first st with a sl st. Do not turn at the beg of rnds, unless instructed.
4. Jacket is worked back and forth in rows.
5. To change yarn color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw
through all loops on hook to complete st. Proceed with new color. Cut old color.
6. Exact gauge is not essential for this project. We worked tightly with a small hook so that stuffing wouldn’t
show through.

SAFETY NOTE
If Eric is intended for a baby or child, be certain that all pieces have been very securely sewn together and
omit the button the Pants. Don’t leave a baby or child unattended with Eric!
