Winnie the Pooh Free Crochet Pattern

You will need: Cotton yarn/thread nº4   in yellow and red (worked 2 strands together) 2.5mm crochet hook Tapestry needle  9mm safety eyes Black and brown embroidery thread  Stuffing Abbreviations:   mc – Magic Circle sc – Single Crochet ch – Chain inc – Increase (2 stitches in the same stitch) dec - Decrease (turn 2 stiches into 1) f.o - Fasten Off   Pattern Notes: The pattern will be worked in continuous rounds unless told otherwise. Stuff as you go, but note that the arms and ears will not be stuffed. Work with two strands held together to achieve the same size as mine (15cm) if you use only one strand, use 6mm safety eyes. When sewing parts together use only one of the strands so that the seams aren't too bulky. **You may notice some rounds start different, changing the order of the stitches makes it so that you don't have a decrease seam** Body: Start with yellow Round 1 - mc of 8 (8) Round 2 - inc in every stitch (18) Round 3 - *1sc, inc* x8 (24) Round 4 - *2sc, inc* x8
