Materials Needed:

Round 9:

Switch to Black Yarn:

- Continue sc in each stitch with black yarn until the end of round 11, maintaining 51 stitches.
Round 12 to 19:
- Switch back to red yarn. Work a sc in each stitch across each round, maintaining 51 stitches.'
For Round 20:
- 6 sc, then an invisible decrease (1 decrease), followed by 9 sc. Repeat this sequence three times for a total of 48 stitches.
Round 21:
- Sc in every stitch until the end.
Round 22 to 24:
- Start with 2 chains, then double crochet (dc) in every stitch until the end.
Hat (Two Designs Available):
- Begin with 6 chains. Slip stitch in the first chain to form a round.
Round 1 (Hat):
- Do 9 sc in the round you created.
Round 2 (Hat):
- 1 increase, then 2 sc. Repeat this 3 times for a total of 12 stitches.
- Follow the pattern for the cone shape of the hat.
For Round 17 (Design One):

Round 17 to 18 (Design Two):
- From a different starting point in round 17, make 2 chains, then 1 dc followed by 1 dc increase. Repeat 24 times for a total of 72 stitches. Round 18 involves making 3 chains, then 1 slip stitch in the next stitch, repeating around for a scalloped edge.
Beard:
- Start with a magic ring and 6 sc. Close the round with a slip stitch and chain 1 to start the next round.
- In the following rounds, work the first stitch in the front loop only, then proceed with regular single crochets, alternating between fur stitches and increases as specified in the pattern to achieve a textured beard look.
Rope:
- Use two yarns of different colors. Create a long rope by alternating yarns and pulling through loops on the hook. Make about 50 cm of rope for the pouch.
Final Assembly:
- Sew the beard between rounds 19 and 20 of the body.
- Attach the nose above the beard.
- Sew hands on both sides between rounds 19 and 20.
- Pass the rope through round 23 of the hat, skipping stitches as necessary for spacing, then thread it through the holes in the hat and the block to secure.
