Then...

1- Join body color of yarn in the ch 1 of any corner. Ch 1, sc in same st (this is the 1st sc), sc in each sc across, sc in the ch 1 of the corner, ch 30, join with a sl st to the 1st sc. (14 sc, 30 ch's)

2- ch 1, sc in same st, sc in each sc and ch around, join with a sl st to 1st sc. (44 sc)

3- ch 1, sc in same st and in next 8 sc, sc dec over next 2 sc, *sc in next 9 sc, sc dec over next 2 sc, repeat from * around, join with a sl st to 1st sc. (40 sc)

13- ch 1, st st in 2nd sc up the side of the square (that's two more up the side, not the same st), turn, sc in each sc around (30 sc), sl st in the 2nd sc up the side.

14 thru 17- repeat row/round 13.

18- ch 1, sl st in corner ch 1, turn, sc in each sc across, join with a sl st to corner ch 1. (this may or may not match up, but it should. if it doesn't just add another row or round until it does.)

Sew arms, legs and head to body. Add hair if you'd like. In this case, I added a mohawk (only because Small T insisted.) I also made a few accessories.

Scarf

With a J hook, ch 62. dc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch across. finish off. weave in ends.

Bow Tie

1- leaving a long tail of yarn for tying on, ch 8. sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. (7 sc)

2 thru 4- turn work, ch 1, sc in same st and in each st across. (7 sc) at the end of row 4, finish off, leaving a long tail of yarn for tying.

Now, find the center stitch of the piece and weave a piece of yarn through all center stitches (down the middle of the piece). Pull yarn tight and tie it off to make the bow tie.

Weave the two long pieces of yarn down the side of the work to the middle stitch, then tie the bow tie on.

That's it. I hope you enjoy my free pattern.
