Grumpy Hamster

By: Bugalicious Crochet

"This pattern was designed because my bestie LOVES hamsters and I wanted to make her one for Christmas. I thought, "what the heck" and made it into a pattern. It can be made with any kind of yarn and any size of hook that matches the yarn thickness. The face of the hamster can be sewn on using any color of yarn - I just like to use black. If you like this pattern, I have other projects, patterns, and more on my website!"

Row 2 - Sc 2 in each stitch around (12)
Row 3 - Sc in next stitch and then sc 2 in stitch after. Repeat around (18)
Row 4 - Dtr in next stitch, sc in stitch after that, and 2 sc in the stitch after that. Sc for 2 stitches and then 2 sc in next stitch. Sc for 2 more stitches, sc in next stitch and dtr in the same stitch. Sc for 2 more stitches and sc 2 times in the next stitch. Repeat 2 more times (lots of 2’s!). You just made the ears, so make sure they poke out the right direction! (24)
Row 5 - Sc all the way around (24)
Row 6 - Sc for 3 stitches and bobble stitch BUT only do 2 dc. Sc for 5 more stitches and do the 2 dc bobble stitch again. Sc the rest of the row. You just made his arms! (24)
Row 7-8 - Sc all the way around (24)
Row 9 - Sc for 4 stitches (because the row slowly moves back as you crochet. Just try to align the next stitch with the arms, since you’ll be making the legs this next one) 2 dc bobble stitch in the next stitch. Sc for 5 stitches and then do a 2 dc bobble stitch in the next stitch. Sc the rest of the row. (24)
Row 10 - This is the part where I stop keeping track because I just dec every stitch until I can fasten it off when it’s closed, stuffing it when the hole is just big enough to stuff
Add a face to it and you’re done!
