5-9. 8 sc (8) — 5 rounds

Fasten off and weave in the yarn end on the first leg. Do not cut the yarn on the second leg; continue crocheting.

10. Join the legs: ch 5, then work 8 sc around the first leg, 5 sc along the chain, 8 sc around the second leg, and 5 sc back along the other side of the chain. Place a marker; this is the new beginning of the round (26)
11-15. 26 sc (26) — 5 rounds

Begin stuffing the piece.

16. 3 sc, dec, 11 sc, dec, 8 sc (24)

20. 2 sc, dec, 7 sc, dec, 5 sc (16)
21. 2 sc, dec, 5 sc, dec, 5 sc (14)
22. 14 sc (14) — crochet the arms into this round, positioning them symmetrically in relation to the legs (my placement: 1 sc, 4 sc through the arm and body together, 3 sc, 4 sc through the arm and body together, 2 sc). Remember to keep stuffing the piece.
23. sc, dec, 5 sc, dec, 4 sc (12)
24-25. 12 sc (12) — 2 rounds
26. Work 4 sc, then attach the head: hold the neck and head together and work 4 sc from the inside through both pieces, then work 4 sc around the neck to finish the round.
From here, continue crocheting in the round (first around the neck, then around the head, and back around the neck).
27. (4 sc, dec) x 3, 2 sc, dec (18)
28. dec, (4 sc, dec) x 2, 2 sc, dec (15)
29. (3 sc, dec) x 3 (12)
30. (2 sc, dec) x 3 (9)

In Round 27, work 1 fewer sc to account for the shifting round marker.

Finish crocheting, pull the remaining 9 stitches closed, and secure the yarn.

Assembly

The toy is crocheted as one piece. All that remains is to sew on the ears and horns.

Finishing

Sew on the eyes and embroider the nose. You can also add a beard and lightly shade the nose.
