♥Notes:

• Do not join rounds. Work in a continuous spiral, unless otherwise is written.

• Crochet as tight as you can. Maybe it is more comfortable to go down a hook size (to 2,2 mm). Your stitches will
be tight and you will not see the fiberfill from inside after stuffing.
• You are crocheting from the feet up to the head. Arms, ears and tail will be sewn onto the body.
• Extra tip: If you are crocheting with thicker yarn (50 grams= 75 meters, you can put a music box in Lous belly!

♥ Finishing:
Sew the arms onto the body directly
under the volant collar at rd 21. /22.
from the body.
So that the legs are not far from the
body, sew them with a few stitches at
the level of the feet to the lower part
of the body.
Sew the ears on, at rnd 2-3 onto the
vertex midpoint of the head. Sew
them strongly.
Sew the tail on, at the middle of the
lower back.
Take a long thread of your base color
and stitch the belly button with
approx. 8 stitches at the height of the
7th/8th round of the body. It goes
over 2 sc horizontally.
♥ Embroider the face:
Take the black yarn.
The eyes are going over 4- 5 stitches
horizontally over rd 6 and 7 from the
head.
The eyelashes extend over a stitch at
an angle downwards.
The distance to each other goes over
7-8 sc.
4
The nose is embroidered with old pink
yarn. Embroider it at rnd 6 from the
head.
It goes about 3 sc horizontally with 3
stitches. The mouth goes 3 rnds
vertically with one stitch.
The ridge of the nose is embroidered
with your alpaca yarn in light pink
(the same color than the volant
color). Take a long thread.
Start by the nose and embroider it
with zigzag stitches in a cylindrical
form (thus becoming wider towards
the top).
It ends just before the mane.
You can also mark the shape with
embroidery needles beforehand.
♥ Headband with a
flower:
Crochet in an additional color. I took
the same color like the nose (old
pink).
Crochet a chain space of approx. 58
chains. It depends on the thickness of
the yarn you have chosen. Maybe
you have to crochet more ch or less.
Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.
Put the headband around Lous head
and sew it onto the head.
Flower:
Crochet in the same color old pink
and let a long thread at the
beginning.
1. 6 sc in MR 6
