Find the middle and insert the needle into the stitch to the left, bringing it out at the left edge of the left eye (right and left sides relative to me).
Then insert it at the right edge of the left eye and bring it out below, in the neck area, where you initially inserted, but one stitch to the right.
Pull the yarn to sink the eye deeper. Tie it with two knots. Insert the needle where you previously brought it out, bringing it out at the left edge of the right eye. Then insert it into the right corner of the right eye and bring it out below at the neck, one stitch to the right. Tie the yarn with two knots. Insert the needle under the nose and bring it out in the same place, pull tight, tie two knots, and hide the yarn.

Materials used:
Yarn: Himalaya Dolfin Baby (color 80327).
Crochet hook size 4.
Abbreviations:
MR – Magic Ring (Magic Circle).
inc – increase.
dec – decrease.
hdc – half double crochet.
sc – single crochet.
ch – chain stitch.
Crochet using single crochet stitches.
Start with the first leg. Chain 21, join in a circle. Crochet 3 rows of sc, 21 stitches each. At the end of the 3rd row, make a slip stitch and cut the yarn. Make the same second leg, at the end of the 3rd row, chain 4 (turning chain). Take the first leg, and in the next stitch after the last one (slip stitch), crochet a sc and mark it with a marker. Then crochet around in a circle for 3 rows, 50 sc in each.
Continue crocheting, starting to count rows from this point onwards.
1: 9, dec, 23, dec, 14 (48).
2: (48).
3: 9, dec, 22, dec, 13 (46).
Increase the height of the leg using hdc. Ensure that 3 hdc are in the middle, both front and back.
4: 18, 3 hdc, 20, 3 hdc, 2 (46).
5: 9, dec, 21, dec, 12 (44).
6: (44).
Create a back cutout for the tail. Ensure that the cutout is centered; you may need to add or subtract stitches before the cutout (everyone’s tension varies).
7: 19, ch 5, then from the 25th stitch, crochet 20 sc until the end of the row.
8-10: (44).
11: 1, sc, turn. Create the front part. Ensure everything is centered and of the desired width and height. For me, the width is 8 stitches and the height is 5 rows. Turn each row and make a ch increase. Start making the straps. Right where you stopped crocheting the front part, chain the desired length of the strap (it depends on how far apart you want to make the loops), attach it with a sc in the back towards the second loop. Crochet a few sc to where you want to start the second loop. Crochet the chain for the second loop and attach it with a sc.
That’s the translation of the pattern. Happy crocheting!
