Once upon a long time ago, I wrote a pattern for a creature seen in a soda commercial:

Work in rows, not rounds

R1: ch 3

R2: sc 2

Finish, leave long tail for sewing

Body:

R1: Magic Loop, sc 6

R2: *2sc in 1* to end = 12sc

R3: *1 sc, 2sc in 1* to end = 18sc

R4 – R 10:  sc all = 18 sc

R11: *1 sc, 1sc in 2* to end = 12sc

R12: 1sc in 2 = 6sc

Finish, leave long yarn tail for sewing

Head:

R1: Magic Loop, sc 6

R2: *2sc in 1* to end = 12sc

R3: *1 sc, 2sc in 1* to end = 18sc

R4: *2sc, 2sc in 1* to end = 24sc

R5: *3sc, 2sc in 1* to end = 30sc

R6: *4sc, 2sc in 1* to end = 36sc

R7 – R9: sc all = 36

R10: *4sc, 1sc in 2* to end = 30sc

R11: *3sc, 1sc in 2* to end = 24sc

R12: *2sc, 1sc in 2* to end = 18sc

2x lips:

R1: Magic Loop, sc 6

R2: *2sc in 1* to end = 12sc

R3: *1 sc, 2sc in 1* to end = 18sc

R4: *2sc, 2sc in 1* to end = 24sc

R5: *3sc, 2sc in 1* to end = 30sc

Lower lip: Fold in half, make sure points of hexagon align and close with sc.

Upper lip: Fold in half, make sure points of hexagon align and close half way with sc. Ch1, turn,

sc to lowest point, ch1, turn, sc back to center. Fasten off, leave tail for lip shaping.

Work other side from bottom corner to center in the same way.

Collar:

Slip 10 – 15 beads on crochet thread, ch2, bring bead up, include in next ch2 until chain equals

body circumference. Fasten off.

Finishing:

Sew legs and tail to body. Make sure the legs are spread rather far apart, to provide stability.

Sew head to body. Leave enough space for head movement, as balancing the huge head on the

tiny body will depend on bending the doll a little bit.

Shape upper lip by securing the ends of red yarn, then attach lips to head.

Join collar under the body and secure the ends.
