Row 1-3: Ch 1, 1hdc in each st
Row 4: Ch 1, 1 hdc in next st, 2 hdc in next
st, repeat to end.
Row 5-8: Ch1, hdc in each st
Row 9: Ch 1, hdc in the next 3 st's. *2hdc in

Count out from both sides 30sts, then 30 sts,
mark with st marker.
Row 16: Ch 1, hdc in each st to first marker,
ch 30 for underarm, join with hdc at next marker, hdc to next marker, Ch 30 for
second underarm, join with hdc, hdc to end.
Row 17: Ch 1, hdc in each st until body is the
length you need before starting the legs.
Row 18: To start the legs you need to hdc the
middle together, the way I did this was I had my daughter try it on and used
safety pins to hold the middle together to make sure it fit right then hdc
where the safety pins were. stop holding both sides together and hdc on only
one side, you have just started your first leg. You want to make sure you do
the same thing to the other side to start the second leg.
Now it's time to make the arms, you will start
off with the same color yarn on the arm hole. Attach your yarn in the corner
and hdc around once you have done one set of color (a set is 3 rows of one
color) you will skip a st when attaching your new color and you will keep doing
this until you finish the arm, this is how you will dec the arm since the arm
is not just one size.
Now it's time to start the hood using orange,
grab your yarn and join at the top of the costume and then just hdc chaining 1
each time you turn, so it would be Ch 1, hdc across repeat until it is over
your child's head. Then sew hood together inside out.

should be long but not so long it drags on the ground. You’re going to ch, 5

Inner ears
Follow instruction for outer ear but do it with
a G hook and in yellow. Sew inner ear to outer ear. DO NOT
STUFF INNER EAR!
Fasten off. Leave long tail for sewing. Make
sure to stuff ears but not to much stuffing just enough to make the ears stand
up.
Now I will hand sew the Velcro on.
Star’s Use G Hook
Popcorn Stitch– To form a popcorn stitch, work 3
double crochets into the same stitch. It should look like a fan or a shell.
Remove and insert the hook Pull up the active loop on your hook so it is large,
and you don't have to worry about losing it. Then, remove your hook from the
loop. Count back five double crochet stitches and insert your hook into the
first double crochet you made. Hook the active
loop with your hook still in the first double crochet, go through the loose
active loop. Once the loop is around your hook you can tighten the loop again. Close
up the Popcorn Stitch Draw the active loop through the loops of the first
double crochet to close up and complete the popcorn stitch. A finished popcorn
stitch should look like a tiny cup made of double crochets.
