• 3.5mm crochet hook
• 9mm safety eyes
• Polyester fiberfill stuffing
• Tapestry needle

Body:

1. Start with MC yarn and make a magic ring.
2. Crochet 6 sc into the ring.
3. Increase in each stitch around (12 sc).
4. Continue crocheting rounds of SC, increasing in every other stitch until you have 48 stitches.
5. Change to SC yarn and crochet 2 rounds of SC without increasing.
6. Stuff the body firmly with polyester fiberfill.
7. Crochet 2 more rounds of sc with SC yarn, then decrease in every other stitch (24 sc).
8. Crochet one final round of SC with SC yarn and close off the hole.

Legs (make 4):

1. Attach SC yarn to the body just below the head and chain 15.
2. Turn your work and crochet sc back down the chain, making sure to work into both stitch loops.
3. When you reach the end of the chain, chain 2 and turn your work.
4. Crochet sc in each stitch back down to the body.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 seven more times so that you have a total of eight tentacles.
6. Weave in the ends of the yarn and trim the tentacles to be even.

Eyes:

1. Sew on the black safety eyes to the top of the head.

Finishing touches:

1. Add a blush to the cheeks with pink embroidery floss.
2. You can also embroider a smile or other facial features if you like.

Snout:

1. Using black yarn, start at the center of the muzzle and embroider six evenly spaced short stitches in a circle.
2. Repeat step 1, working slightly further than the first round to create a larger circle.
3. Continue embroidering circles this way until you reach the desired size of the snout.

Antlers:

1. Using DC yarn, make a magic ring and chain 6 sc.
2. Close the ring by pulling the working yarn tight and weaving in the ends.
3. Stuff the base of the antler firmly with stuffing.
4. Use SC yarn, chain 3, and sc in the same stitch to make a double crochet.
5. Sc in the next stitch, then make another double crochet in the next stitch.
6. Repeat steps 5-6 around the entire antler base.
7. Continue crocheting rounds of sc, decreasing in every other stitch until you have 6 stitches remaining.
8. Stuff the tip of the antler lightly with stuffing.
9. Close the hole in the antler by pulling the working yarn tight and weaving in the ends.
10. Repeat steps 1-9 to make the second antler.
11. Sew the antlers to the top of the head, positioning them so that they are slightly angled back.

Tail:

1. Attach DC yarn to the bottom of the body and chain 12.
2. Turn your work and sc in each st back down the ch.
3. Dec at each end of the row 4 times.
4. Weave in the ends.

Assembly:

1. Sew the legs to the underside of the body.
2. Sew the tail to the back of the body.

Tips:

• Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round.
• If you have trouble stuffing the body, use a chopstick or other blunt object to push the stuffing in.
• Be careful not to overstuff the body, making crocheting the other parts difficult.
• If you make a mistake, don't worry! Frog (undo) your stitches back to the mistake and start over.

With a little practice, you can crochet this adorable amigurumi moose quickly!
