2. Working in joined round 
When crocheting in rounds without further guidance, working in closed rounds, start each round with a set number of beginning chains and close with a slip stitch. The beginning chain preceding a single crochet and the slip stitch used for joining rounds are not included in the total stitches.

Part 1 Main body

The main part is divided into the body and head. Complete the crocheted section of the body first, and insert the stuffing in the last few rows. Then proceed to crochet the head. The head and body are sewn together at the neck, see the image below.

Part 2 Limbs

The limbs are divided into arms and legs. Complete crocheting the arms first and then sew them on. For the legs, finish crocheting the toes before sewing them up.

Part 3 Tail

Complete the crocheting of the tail first, then sew it on.

Part 4 Facial features

Facial features include ears, eyes, mouth and nose, and blush. Ears divide into inner ear and outer ear.

Part 5 Stripes

The stripes come in three different lengths. First, complete the crocheting. For the king character on the forehead, use three of the shortest length stripes and one medium-length stripe to glue it together. For other parts, attach them to the main body, tail, and arms according to personal preference.

Part 6 Belly

Complete the crochet for the belly, with the wider side down, and sew together with a whip stitch, right side facing up.
