1. Material List Yarn: Brown (main color), Skin tone (nose/feet), Orange (vest), White and Black (eyes/mouth). Crochet Hook: 2.5 mm or 3 mm. Other: Fiberfill, thin black wire or stiff fishing line (for hair/mustache), sewing needle. 2. Body (For the Vertical Stripe Appearance) To create the vertical stripes in the photo, crochet back and forth, not in a spiral. Beginning: Chain approximately 30-35 stitches with brown yarn (this will be the height of the mole). Row 1: Make 1 single crochet (SI) in each chain. Rows 2 and subsequent rows: Always crochet single crochet (BLO) (only into the back loop). This creates the vertical stripe texture. Width: Crochet in this way until the body circumference reaches your desired thickness (approximately 40-50 rows). Assembly: You will have a rectangular piece. Sew the long sides together to form a tube. Closing: Gather and sew the bottom. Stuff tightly with fiberfill. Gather and close the top (the top of the head) so that it is narrower.

3. Arms (2 Pieces - Brown) Row 1: 6 single crochet stitches into a magic ring (SH). Row 2: Double crochet into each stitch (12 single crochet stitches). Rows 3-18: 1 single crochet into each stitch (12 single crochet stitches). Note: Stuff the end of the arm with fiberfill, reduce the fiberfill towards the shoulder so that the arms stay attached to the body. 4. Feet (2 Pieces - Skin Tone and Brown) Row 1 (Skin Tone): 6 single crochet stitches into a magic ring. Row 2: Double crochet into each stitch (12 single crochet stitches). Row 3: (1 single crochet, 1 increase) x 6 (18 single crochet stitches). Rows 4-8: 18 single crochet stitches (This part is the foot end). Row 9 (Brown): Change color. Crochet 18 single crochet stitches. Rows 10-12: Crochet 18 single crochet stitches and finish. Stuff.

5. Face Parts Nose (Skin Color): 6 SJ into SH -> Double in each stitch (12 SJ) -> 12 SJ for 3 rows -> Close by decreasing. (Should look like a small potato). Eyes (White - 2): 6 SJ into SH -> Double in each stitch (12 SJ) -> (1 SJ, 1 Increase) x 6 (18 SJ). Make a pupil in the center with thin black yarn or beads. Mouth: Chain 10 with black yarn. Work one row of single crochet and increase at the ends to form a "half-moon" shape. Embroider a small tongue in the center with pink yarn. 6. Orange Vest/Cape Chain 25 with orange yarn. Work 1 SJ in each stitch for 3-4 rows (a rectangular strip). Wrap and sew from the back of the body to the front, so that it will reach the character's shoulders. 7. Assembly and Final Touches (Critical Point) Eyes and Nose: First, sew the eyes close together, then place the nose just below the eyes. Arms and Legs: Referring to the photo, sew the arms to shoulder level and the legs directly under the body. Hair and Mustache: Thread black wire or stiffened black thread through the top of the head using a needle. Secure with a knot. Make 3 strands upwards and 2-3 strands to the sides (mustache). Eyebrows: Draw two small straight lines just above the eyes with black thread. ???? Tip: If you compress the stuffing inside the body very tightly while sewing, you will better capture the "chubby" look of the character.
