Terms to know:

Single Crochet: SC -This is basic stitch used the most. 1. Insert hook into next stitch, draw yarn through stitch, now, you have one loop

and your original loop on your hook. 2. Then catch yarn again through new loop and original loop together. Now you

have completed one SC.

Chain Stitch/Chain: Ch St. (reference only, not used in this project)

1. Make a slipknot on the hook.2. Yarn over, through the loop on hook.3. Make a row or chain.

Increase: SC twice in one stitch.

Decrease: Join 2 SC stitches into one.

Whip stitch: Insert needle (hook) through 2 pieces, and looping around the edges of 2 pieces. For connecting parts.

Slip Stitch: Insert hook to next stitch, pull yarn through stitch , and your current the loop on your hook at the same time. Best for closing off or binding off.

Half Double Crochet: hdc or HDC1. Bring yarn and over, insert hook into stitch.2. Draw a loop through the stitch. You have 3 loops on hook now.3. Yarn over, draw yarn through 3 loops altogether. One hdc completed.

Double Crochet: dc or DC 1. Bring yarn over, insert hook into next stitch.2. Draw a loop through the stitch, you have 3 loops on the hook now.3. Yarn over, draw yarn through the first 2 loops. you have 2 loops on hook now.

Following with pictures of Magic ringMagic ring/ circle: This is a adjustable loop to begin crochet the first circle.● Make a loop around your finger x1, grab the the cross part.

3. Insert yarn tail to yarn needle, then find the desired spots to sew body to hat. Then, arms, and legs to body. Tuck extra yarn tail in.

4. Put head into hat, stitch around to stabilize if you preferred.
