MAGIC RING
A magic ring is a way to begin crocheting in round by crocheting the first round into an adjustable loop
and then pulling the loop tight. See how I make my magic ring of 6 sc here: https://youtu.be/wdVIx0MpuVc
Alternatively, you can chain 2, crochet n single crochet stitches into the second chain from hook.

*Every time that you will have to insert the needle, do it by the opening at the back of the head. Once
the embroidery is done, bring the needle back through the opening and tie 2 knots.
Face shaping (with a strand of worsted weight yarn of a similar color) *only if you are using safety
eyes, skip this step if you are embroidering the eyes or using felt eyes*:

Image 15. Insert the needle and push it out through one pin.
Image 16. Insert the needle through the other pin et push it out through the first point.
Image 17. Repeat about 3 times or until you are happy with the look of it.
Bring the needle at the back.
Sew the eye patches to the face:

Images 18-21. The inner part as close as possible to the nose and the outer part between rounds 6-7 (do
not forget to hide the color change). If needed, watch this video: https://youtu.be/cyPS2X-wPXU

With main color.
1. mr of 6 sc (6)
2. inc, sc 5 (7)
*3-17. sc around (7)
You can make the arms as long as you want by making more or less rounds of 7 stitches (arms) and 8
stitches (legs). I personally made a total of 15 rounds. Once you’ve reached the desired length, go to the
next round.
If you do not use pipe cleaners, start stuffing when the arms are becoming to long for you to reach the tip.
Lightly stuff it, just enough so it keeps its shape, but still very soft.
OR
Use 2 pipe cleaners per limb, fold them in 3 and twist them. Insert them in the limb. If needed, watch this
video: https://youtu.be/5HYCEEqA2C4
18. dec, sc 5 (6)
Close the opening by making 2 sc through both sides (see ‘’Tips’’ section). Cut the yarn and make the
fingers (for Version A).
TIP! You can make the arms and legs in 2

B A A
different ways! B
Version A: follow the pattern and make the
fingers.
Version B (faster and easier): start with cream
color and change for main color at the end of
round 3. Skip the finger part.
9
Add the fingers (with cream yarn): If needed, watch this video: https://youtu.be/Yyt0IGvWMt4
Make sure that the last st of the arm is on one side, not in the middle (see video).
Images 33-34. Insert your hook between rounds 3-4 and join cream yarn.
Images 35-36. Ch 3, starting in the 2nd ch from the hook: sl st 2 (first finger).
Image 37. Sl st in the next st of the arm.
Images 38-39. Repeat images 35-37 to make 2 more fingers. Cut the yarn, and leave a yarn tail of about
6’’ (15 cm).
You can leave the fingers like so or follow the next steps to attach them to the arm.
Image 40. Using the yarn tail, insert the needle through the last st (where you sl st) and push it out
between rounds 2-3 (under a finger).
Images 41-43. Insert the needle through the finger and back into the same stitch of the arm.
Image 44. Repeat for the other 2 fingers and bring the yarn tail out through any stitch of the arm.
Images 45-46. Bring the other yarn tail through the same st, tie 2 knots and hide the yarn tails.
Image 47. Sew the first arm to the body (wait for the second arm): in line with the eye closer to the
back (white line), the top of the arm should be 1 round lower than the neck. If you want the arms to
stay straight when you lift the sloth, sew 2 stitches where the red dots are on the image.

line).
