Abbreviations
st – stitch;
ch – chain;
sc – single crochet;
inc – increase (crochet 2 sc in one loop);
dec – decrease (crochet 2 sc together);
sl st – slip stitch;
(sc, inc) х n – repeat those in brackets n-times.

The size of the ready toy is approx. 20 cm.
All the details except the scarf are crocheted in a spiral.
This toy is remarkable with the fact that in the course of crocheting of the head and body was crocheted only 6 decreases. I.e. we will not see on our little beaver those seams, which we always get when we crochet the course of the decreases. Nothing will upset us and nothing will be an eyesore to us)))

ARMS (2 pcs)
Brown color.
1 rnd: 6 sc in the magic ring
2 rnd: 6 inc (12)
3 rnd: (3 sc, inc) х 3 (15)
4-7 rnd: 4 rows – 1 sc in each st around (15)
8 rnd: green color sl st in each back loop of the 7th row (15)

9 rnd: sc, grasping the back loops of the 7th and 8th rows (15)
10 rnd: milk color (3 sc, dec) х 3 (12)
11 rnd: milk color 1 sc in each st around (12)
12-13 rnd: 2 rows with the green color – 1 sc in each st around (12)
Crochet 3-4 sc more, so as the hook appeared to be at the edge.
Stuff the arm softly, not reaching the top. Fold the edges in half and crochet 5 sc hooking the both edges.

You can either sew or crochet in the arms. If you want to sew them, then leave a long thread enough for sewing. If you choose the second variant – fasten off the thread, hide the end inside. In this crochet pattern I’ll sew the arms.

TAIL:
Grey color.
1 rnd: 6 sc in the magic ring
2 rnd: 6 inc (12)
3 rnd: (1 sc, inc) х 6 (18)
4 rnd: (2 sc, inc) х 6 (24)
5 rnd: (3 sc, inc) х 6 (30)
6 rnd: (4 sc, inc) х 6 (36)
7-8 rnd: 2 rows – 1 sc in each st around (36)
9 rnd: (5 sc, inc) х 6 (42)
10-15 rnd: 6 rows – 1 sc in each st around (42)
16 rnd: (5 sc, dec) х 6 (36)
17-22 rnd: 6 rows – 1 sc in each st around (36)
23 rnd: (4 sc, dec) х 6 (30)
24-26 rnd: 3 rows – 1 sc in each st around (30)
27 rnd: (3 sc, dec) х 6 (24)
28-30 rnd: 3 rows – 1 sc in each st around (24)
31 rnd: (2 sc, dec) х 6 (18)

LEGS (2 pcs)
Brown color.
1 rnd: 6 sc in the magic ring
2 rnd: 6 inc (12)
3 rnd: (1 sc, inc) х 6 (18)
4-5 rnd: 2 rows – 1 sc in each st around (18)
6 rnd: 6 sc, 3 dec, 6 sc (15)
7-11 rnd: 5 rows – 1 sc in each st around (15)
Cut the yarn and fasten off at the first leg.
For the second leg crochet 5-6 sc more, so as to turn out at the inner side of the leg, leave the loop opened.

Put the legs together, so as the toes will look forward. Mark a loop at the first leg, which adjoins with the opened loop of the second leg.

BODY (the lower part):
Crochet 6 ch from the opened loop of the second leg, take the first leg, insert the hook in the earlier marked loop – here will be the beginning of the row of the body (you are at the back, you can put the marker here).
1 rnd: crochet round the first leg 15 sc, then 6 sc along the chain, 15 sc along the second leg and 6 sc along the chain. In total we get 42 stitches in this row.

2 rnd: (6 sc, inc) х 6 (48)
3 rnd: (7 sc, inc) х 6 (54)
4-5 rnd: 1 sc in each st around (54)
6 rnd: (8 sc, inc) х 6 (60)
7-10 rnd: 4 rows – 1 sc in each st around (60)
11 rnd: 1 sc in each st around crocheting in the tail
I place the tail as follows: 51 sc, 8 sc together with the tail, 1 sc (60) (as we crochet the toy in spiral rows, then you can have the errors and, perhaps, you’ll need to move the tail for 1-2 stitches to the right)
12-16 rnd: 5 rows – 1 sc in each st around (60)

Leave a long thread enough for sewing and put aside the detail.

HEAD and BODY (the upper part):
Crochet 11 ch with brown color.
1 rnd: begin crocheting from the 2nd loop from the hook – inc, 8 sc, 4 sc in the last loop of the chain. Further crochet along the other side of the chain 8 sc, inc (24)
2 rnd: 2 inc, 8 sc, 4 inc, 8 sc, 2 inc (32)
3 rnd: (1 sc, inc) х 2, 8 sc, (1 sc, inc) х 4 times, 8 sc, (1 sc, inc) х 2 (40)

4 rnd: 1 sc in each st around (40)
5 rnd: (2 sc, inc) х 2, 8 sc, (2 sc, inc) х 4 times, 8 sc, (2 sc, inc) х 2 (48)

6 rnd: 1 sc in each st around (48)
7 rnd: (7 sc, inc) х 6 (54)
8 rnd: (8 sc, inc) х 6 (60)
9-18 rnd: 10 rows – 1 sc in each st around (60)
Change the color to the green.
19 rnd: sl st in each back loop of the 18th row (60)

20 rnd: sc, grasping the back loops of the 19th and 18th rows (60)

21-22 rnd: 2 rows with the milk color – 1 sc in each st around (60)
Further in the 23rd row you can crochet in the arms at the sides of the body. The space between the arms is 17 stitches. I.e. find the stitch in the center of the breast and count out 8 stitches to each side and from them place the arms. Or you can sew the arms later.

23-24 rnd: 2 rows with the green color – 1 sc in each st around (60)
25-26 rnd: 2 rows with the milk color – 1 sc in each st around (60)
27-28 rnd: 2 rows with the green color – 1 sc in each st around (60)
29-30 rnd: 2 rows with the milk color – 1 sc in each st around (60)

31 rnd: with the green color 1 sc in each st around (60)
32 rnd: with the brown color sc in each back loop (60)
Fasten off and cut the yarn.
Put the stuffing in the body and head. Connect these two parts.

For the convenience mark the middle of each detail with the marker, connect the markers and baste the parts of the body with a contrast thread.
Then sew the details with the brown thread. Do not forget to put the enough amount of stuffing before closing the opening.

Crochet the JACKET to the end
Make a loop with a green yarn and pass it through the loop of the 31st row of the body. Further 1 ch and beginning from this very loop crochet one row of the sc.

Then crochet two rows of the sc with the milk color and the last row with the green color.
Fasten off and hide the end of the thread inside.

EARS:
1 rnd: 6 sc in the magic ring
2 rnd: 6 inc (12)
3-5 rnd: 3 rows – 1 sc in each st around (12)
Fold the ear in half and crochet the sc grasping the both edges. Leave the threads enough for sewing.

MUZZLE:
1 rnd: 6 sc in the magic ring
2 rnd: 6 inc (12)
3-9 rnd: 7 rows – 1 sc in each st around (12)
10 rnd: 6 dec
Put a little stuffing, leave a thread enough for sewing and tighten the opening.

SCARF:
Crochet chain 96 ch + 2 ch.
1. Insert the hook in the 3rd loop from the hook, draw out the thread, then insert the hook in the next loop and again draw out the thread, repeat this action one more time.
2. Crochet all 4 loops, which are on the hook, crochet 2 ch.
Beginning from the next stitch again by turns draw out each of three loops and crochet them together, crochet 2 ch.

Crochet in such a way till the end of the chain.

To make the scarf wider, crochet one more such row, attaching the yarn at the right side of the scarf.
Make two pompons with the help of the special devices. If you have no such devices, you can use a cardboard.

Fluff the pompons with a comb with frequent teeth or with a special comb for the cats.

ASSEMBLY AND DECORATION:
Sew the arms at the level of the 23rd row of the upper part of the body. Find the central stitch at the breast and count out 8 stitches to each side. You should get the space 17 stitches wide – at this space place the arms.

Sew the muzzle in the middle of the head between the 12 and 16 rows.

Embroider the nose with a black thread. Sew the ears. Glue the eyes.

Make a couple of stitches with a beige yarn for the brows. Cut out the teeth from white felt, from pink felt cut out the cheeks and glue them. Tie the scarf by the pompons to the side))

Abbreviations
SC– single crochet
SC INC– single crochet increase (2 SC in each stitch)
INV DEC– Invisible decrease (put hook through the FRONT LOOP ONLY of two consecutive stitches [two loops on hook] Yarn over pull through both loops. [two loops on hook] Yarn over pull through two loops)
Magic Circle– Make a loop, leaving a long tail to work with. Insert hook in center of loop, yarn over and draw up a loop. Yarn over, pull through to make the first chain (this does not count as a stitch!). Continue to crochet over the loop and tail with the number of stitches called for. (If you need 6 SC, then crochet 6 SC inside the ring.) Pull the tail to close the circle.
