List of Necessary Materials:
1: YarnArt Jeans and Alize Cotton Gold hobby yarn. Also, white and black thread for eye and nose embellishments.
2: Crochet hook No. 2 – No. 2.25.
3: Sewing needle, preferably with a blunt end, and a long needle for tightening.
4: Safety eyes with a diameter of 10 mm.
5: Polyester fiberfill, can use holofiber.
6: Scissors.
7: Buttons (optional).
8: Contrasting thread for marking, markers.

Attention! Using the list of necessary materials, the toy will be approximately 26 cm in size. When choosing a crochet hook, refer to the density of your crochet. I crochet quite tightly, so I use a 2.25mm hook. If you crochet quite loosely, you can use a 1.75mm to 2mm hook.

Crochet the second leg similarly.
Decoration and assembly of the face.
Sew the ears between rows 4 and 11. Where the upper and lower points are parallel, and the third point is at an angle, about 3 SC away from the edge. (photo 2)
Sew through the loops of the ears and bridges along the head. Below are photo instructions.
Sew on the face.
Stretch the face slightly sideways in the area of SC. Then mark the placement. SC on both sides will be at the bottom right corner of the eye and the bottom left corner of the eye. Since we made shaping, the rows between the eyes have a curved appearance. Sew the face along the row that is in the center of the eye. (with increases)
In the “face” details, the final row was row 30 SC. Sew behind the loops of the previous row. Photo below.
Next, embroider with black thread: eyelashes, eyebrows, and nose. The lower part of the nose is 1 SC from the MC, the upper part is 2 rows to the edge: – (3 SC, INC… and a row of SS). Pay special attention to making the nose symmetrical. Embroider with white thread: eye highlights.
Sew the head to the body. In row 24 of the body, we made 9 decreases, this row can serve as a guide for the symmetrical placement of the head. The 5th decrease serves as the center of the tummy, mark the head so that points (5 decreases) and (center of the nose) are parallel. Check for symmetry from different angles and sew the head to the body, adding filling to the neck if necessary, so it doesn’t wobble during use.
Sew on the legs.
Sew the lower legs between rows 15 and 16. At a distance of approximately 26-27 SC from edge to edge.
Sew on the upper legs, stepping back 1 row from the head. At a distance of approximately 6-7 SC above the lower legs.

Proceed to edging and straps.
Use crochet hook No. 2.
With the item facing you, attach the yarn to the 1st row (which serves as the center), and crochet slip stitches along the edge without tightening the stitches. From the corner of the back of the pants, crochet 36 chain stitches (the number may vary depending on the density of your crochet work and the desired length of the strap). In the 7th chain stitch from the hook, single crochet to the end of the chain, thus creating a loop for the button. Then, crochet 10 slip stitches, followed by another 36 chain stitches, crocheting in the same manner as the first strap. Next, crochet slip stitches along the edge of the entire item, closing them invisibly. Hide the yarn.
Sew on the buttons. On the front piece, sew the buttons for the strap about 8 stitches in from each side, ensuring they are symmetrically placed.
On the back piece, sew the buttons on the front side under the stitches that were closed on the front piece.
Amigurumi Bear – jumpsuit.
(Important! I crochet clothing quite tightly using crochet hook No. 2.25. The jumpsuit fits loosely on the toy but is not oversized. If your crochet tension is looser, I recommend using crochet hook No. 1.75. You can also change the yarn if desired. During testing, I used “Children’s Novelty” yarn 50g/200m and crochet hook No. 1.75, and the jumpsuit fit perfectly according to the description.)

Do not cut the yarn, continue → Crochet edging.
Single crochet along the edge of the entire piece. Then, cut the yarn and hide the end.
Next, on the front side, move 8 single crochets in from each edge, place a marker in the 8th stitch. Join the yarn in the 8th stitch (important: not in the single crochets, but in the stitches below them).
1: Joining the yarn in the 8th stitch, without chaining, crochet 22 stitches to the marker, single crochet in the 8th single crochet;
2: Turn the work, without chaining, crochet 19 single crochets from the second stitch from the hook, then single crochet;

Before the last stitch, chain 34 stitches, single crochet in the 7th chain from the hook along the chain to its base, single crochet in the next stitch. Single crochet along the edge to the corner, single crochet. Cut the yarn and hide it.
