Notes:<\/p>\n
– I always do my crochet works using continuous rounds. So, I will warn you in the pattern, when you have to work joining rounds;
\n– Everytime I will do a crochet work, the first thing I do is take a look in the entirely pattern before start doing it, so, I can have an idea of how the pattern works. Well, I recommend you to do the same;
\n– For sewing the pieces together you will use the tapestry needle;
\n– To make the eyes, mouth and teeth you will use the felt.<\/p>\n

Make one sc in black yarn and then crochet\u00a05 ch.<\/p>\n After that slip stitch on the 15th stitch from the sc.<\/p>\n Now, sc in the same\u00a0stitch where you made the sl st. Then, sc in the next scs until you reach the After that, make 5 sc, one in each chain, but just use one\u00a0side of the chain, because the other one it will be used for the other leg.

I didn’t used a pattern to make his fingers, because they are too small. What I’ve done was divide his hand in three pieces and crochet around 4~5~6 stitches in each round of each finger until it has gotten the desired lenght.<\/p>\n So, first, mentally divide his hand in three pieces, one for each finger. Then, attach the yarn in the place that will be between the first and the second finger, ch 3 and sl st in the opposite side.<\/p>\n Now, start working in rounds to make the first finger. Make about 4~5~6 sc in each round until you get the desired length. In the last rounds\u00a0decrease and finish off.<\/p>\n Repeat the same process to make the second finger. Attach the yarn in the place that will be between the seconde\u00a0and the third\u00a0finger, ch 3 and sl st in the opposite side. Then,\u00a0start working in rounds. Make about 4~5~6 sc in each round until you get the desired length. In the last rounds\u00a0decrease and finish off.<\/p>\n Now, attach the yarn in the remaning hole and start working in rounds. Make about 4~5~6 sc in each round until you get the desired length. In the last rounds\u00a0decrease and finish off.<\/p>\n It’s time to make the thumb:<\/p>\n Attach the yarn in hobbes hand in the place where it will be his thumb.

Put it inside his tail, after you have stuffed it. Stick the wire into his body (in the place where you are going to sew his tail) until you almost reach Hobbes’ neck. Then sew his tail to the body.<\/p>\n 2. Sew the other pieces together;<\/p>\n 3. Cut a piece of wire (soft galvanized thin wire) and pass it through his arms and body as shown in the photo bellow. Then, cut and hide the tips of the wire. This will allow his arms to be poseable.<\/p>\n 4. Needle felt the black stripes of his face;<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a>
