He is small enough to finish in an afternoon, soft enough that people will immediately want to squeeze him, and distinctive enough that every person who sees him will ask where he came from. Once you make one Chip, you will be casting on a second in a different colorway before the first one is dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3624\/1200\/files\/chip-the-cheeky-hamster-2-size.png?v=1784785940\" alt=\"\" width=\"406\" height=\"406\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"\u003eStep-by-step written PDF pattern in US crochet terms, worked in rounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\"\u003eFull instructions for all components: body with two-tone color work, two ears, four limbs, and a crocheted sunflower seed accessory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0\"\u003eColor placement guidance for the blue and white body sections, written round by round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"4,3,0\"\u003eAssembly instructions with specific round placement for ears, arms, legs, and the sunflower seed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"4,4,0\"\u003eFinal detail notes for embroidered eyes, felt snout placement, and optional accent stripes on the head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"4,5,0\"\u003eA clean, soft finish that reads boutique, not homemade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat You'll Need\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003eChenille or velvet yarn in blue (base color), white (belly and accent), and a darker accent color for the head stripes; a small amount of gray or brown for the sunflower seed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003eCrochet hook sized to match your yarn (see pattern note: a larger or smaller hook adjusts the finished size)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003eDarning needle, scissors, and stitch marker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"\u003eFiberfill stuffing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\"\u003eSafety eyes or felt eyes; felt for the snout detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\"\u003eStitches used: magic ring (MR), single crochet (sc), increase (inc), decrease (dec), slip stitch (slst), chain (ch), half double crochet (HDC), double crochet (DC), treble crochet (TrC), front loop only (FLO), pull through (PT), insert hook (IH)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSkill Level\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"12\"\u003eBeginner to intermediate.\u003c\/b\u003e The body uses color changes across two yarn colors worked simultaneously in rounds, which sounds more complicated than it is once you read through the pattern first (the designer recommends this).
