Leave a long tail for sewing feet, cut off the yarn.

Crochet feet with black yarn (make 2):
Rnd 1: 5 sc in a magic ring
Rnd 2: (inc) repeat 5 times sc in the next 10 st
Rnd 3: (sc in the next st, inc) repeat 5 times [15]
Rnd 4: (sc in the next 2 st, inc) repeat 5 times [20]
Rnd 5: (sc in the next 3 st, inc) repeat 5 times [25]
Rnd 6: (sc in the next 4 st, inc) repeat 5 times [30]
Rnd 7: (sc in the next 5 st, inc) repeat 5 times [35]

You get 2 circles. Put them together and sew with each other with five stitches. You get an eight-shape with 60 stitches in the perimeter.

Put this eight-shape on the cardboard and draw the shape, cut the shape a couple of millimeters less than the drawn one ( to fit the feet).

Make sure that the body is stuffed firmly. Put the eight-shape cardboard and the crocheted eight-shape on it. Sew feet and legs together neatly. Fasten off and hide the end.

Let’s  make the arms. Don’t stuff them firmly, otherwise they won’t look nice. Stuff hands tighter and don’t stuff near the shoulders.
Start with yellow yarn.
Rnd 1: 6 sc in a magic ring
Rnd 2: (inc) repeat 6 times sc in the next 12 st
Rnd 3: (sc in the next st, inc) repeat 6 times [18]
Rnd 4-6 (3 rounds): sc in the next 18 st
Rnd 7: sc in the next 9 st with yellow yarn, sc in the next 9 st with red yarn
Continue with red yarn:
Rnd 8-11 (4 rounds): sc in the next 18 st
Rnd 12: (dec, sc in the next 7 st) repeat 2 times [16]
Rnd 13: sc in the next 16 st
Rnd 14: (dec, sc in the next 6 st) repeat 2 times [14]
Fold in half, sew with sc through both layers of the last round.

Finger (with yellow yarn):
Rnd 1: 5 sc in a magic ring

Leave a long tail for sewing. Make a yellow pompom, sew it to the hat.
Before sewing you can put a little stuffing in the hat to make it stay on the head tighter. Put the hat not on the top of the head, but on the back of the head, the bottom back edge should be nearer to the neck that the front edge.

Rnd 1: 6 sc in a magic ring
Rnd 2: (inc) repeat 6 times sc in the next 12 st
Rnd 3: (sc in the next st, inc) repeat 6 times [18]

Sew eyes with the wrong side up. Embroider two small pupils and sew the eyes to the head. Embroider a mouth, the middle stripe and buttons on the belly (you may sew black beads).
