So a while ago I made this Plue, and I tried to write down the pattern for him as I went. Unfortunately I haven't gone back to verify the pattern (and there are a few problem spots), but if you'd like to give it a try then go for it! I also currently don't have him with me right now so I have no idea how big he is... probably around 10" or so? Disclaimer: That could be way off.
Things you'll need: 3.50 mm hook (or whatever... it's a stuffed animal, gauge doesn't matter!), worsted weight yarn (white and orange), stuffing!
** everything's worked in spiral rounds **

Legs: (make 2)
Row 1: ch 6, 5sc in back ridge [5]

9: sc 7, dec 5, sc around [21] (or maybe: 9: sc 7, dec 5, sc 4,
dec, sc around [20]) * something's wrong with this
row, you should end up with 20 stitches
10: sc 4, dec 5, sc 4, dec [14] *14
is definitely correct here
*now would be a good time to stuff the foot
11: sc 4, dec 3, sc around [11]
12-14: sc around [11]
15: 2 sc in first 2 sc, sc around [13]

** Actually I lied earlier, this one's worked in rows **
Row 1: chain 3, turn, skip first ch, sc in next 2 ch
2-5: ch 1, turn, sc 2
Finish off and leave a tail for sewing
Assembly:
Body part placement should be pretty obvious… I’d sew the
arms on the body before sewing the body to the head, though. I sewed the body on round, but I attached the arms and legs by flattening them where I sewed them on so they're floppy. Also, I used embroidery floss for his
eyebrows and just regular worsted weight yarn for his eyes.
The end!
If you manage to figure out where I messed up, message me on Ravelry (undeadmonkey15)! Or just say hi, that's cool too. =)
