dec – decrease (work 2 sc together);

Note
The yarn consumption, size, and appearance of the toy depend on the density of crocheting and thread thickness. I crochet tightly. The toy is crocheted in a spiral, without turning chains. You can use a stitch marker or contrasting thread to mark the beginning of a row.
Changing Yarn
You can watch on YouTube: “Changing color. Changing color for crochet pattern. Amigurumi. Crochet.”
Starting Crochet
When crocheting with plush yarn, I make a chain of two chains and work the specified number of stitches into the second chain stitch from the hook.

10-14: 12 sc (5 rows).

Closing Holes with a Needle
Insert the remaining yarn into the needle and pick up each loop through the front loop, pulling the yarn to close the hole.

Do not edge the top. Leave a tail. Sew along the posts of the 27th row.
Attaching the Head to the Body
Secure the head with pins, as shown in the last photo of the previous page. Sew behind the posts of the 28th row.

Attaching the Ears
Sew the ears, rising 1-2 rows above the mask line. Place them squarely above the legs and arms. To prevent them from falling, sew inside to the head. Secure them with thread attachment like the arms.

Use plush yarn to make stitches. Secure the beginning of the thread under the ear: bring it out at the mask line and bring it back to the same point 3-4 rows below. The width of the nose is 6-7 sc. Do not pull the thread tightly. Bring out the end under the ear, secure, and cut.
