Polyfil
Follow all the crochet directions for the Pilgrim, except for Row 10. (Skip this row. It's not necessary to have those loops since you won't be adding a coat bottom.)
Collar
Row 1: Attach contrasting color (red) and pick up approximately 20 sts by single crocheting around neck edge. Amount of sts is not crucial. Join. Ch 4.
Row 2: 3 trc in each sc. Fasten off.
Row 3: Attach trim color (blue) and sc all around outside edge. Fasten off.
Repeat collar directions for sleeve and leg ruffles.
Hat
Row 1: Make a chain the length needed to go around the head, join, ch 2.
Row 2: 1 hdc in each chain, join, ch 2.
Row 3: Continue repeating row 2 for desired length. Mine is 10 rows. Next to last row skip every other st; join. Last row repeat above row. Gather end closed and fasten off.
Finishing
- Glue or sew hands and feet into place.
- Firmly stuff the whole body with cotton or polyfil.
- Insert neck of head into body and glue or tie with cord.
- Glue a pom-pom to the top of the hat. Glue a pompom to each cuff, each leg ruffle, and 4 down the front for buttons.
