Notes
The body, head, and legs of DRD are crocheted in continuous rounds, in one piece, worked from the bottom up.
DRD’s arms, hat, ears, and optional strawberry or ice cream cone are crocheted separately and sewn onto the main body.
For the best result, stuff each piece firmly but avoid overfilling so stitches don’t stretch.

This lovable character makes a great gift or collectible for fans of the iconic book! Enjoy bringing this hungry little doodle to life with your crochet skills.
