Alternative way: you can crochet the head and the body as a single part avoiding troubles when sewing the toy parts. So, after you have crocheted the head [18 sc], start crocheting the body but following the pattern from the bottom to the top. This means you should crochet Rounds 25-26 first, then Round 24 and so on. When you have 6 sc in a round, weave the yarn through and draw together.
