Body
In red orange yarn
Worked in a spiral
Round 1) 6 sc in mc (6)
R2) Inc every stitch (12)
R3) Sc, inc* x 6 (18)
R4) Sc, sc, inc* x 6 (24)
R5-8) Sc around (four rounds) (24)
R9) Sc, sc, dec* x 6 (18)
Begin stuffing
R10) Sc, dec* x 6 (12)
R11) Dec every stitch (6)
Fasten off, leave tail of yarn. Using yarn needle, weave tail of yarn through the last rounds front loops, pull tight to close. ( I then like to make a knot, then plunge the needle into the body of the plush, out the other side, then trim the tail so that it is “lost” inside the plush.)



Face
In peach colored yarn
Worked in a spiral
Round 1) 6 sc in mc (6)
R2) Inc every stitch (12)
R3) Inc* x 6, sc 6, fasten off.
R4) Skip four sc, slip stitch to refasten yarn in fifth stitch, sc in same stitch, sc 9, then sl st in same stitch and fasten off
Snap safety eyes ~ one sc apart on the face.
Sew face onto body, I use a basic stitch in between the posts of the scs, not a whip stitch. 


Shoes
In yellow yarn
Worked in a spiral
Round 1) 6 sc in mc (6)
R2) inc, inc, inc, sc, sc, sc (9)
R3) Inc, inc, inc, 6 sc (12)
R4) In back loops only, 8 sc, then 4 hdc (12)
R5) *sc, dec* x 4 (8)
Fasten off, leave tail for sewing onto the body. Lightly stuff. Flatten the shoe so the HDC is the front/toe part of the shoe.
Sew onto body of Waddle Dee evenly so that he can stand on his own, about approximately on either side of the body’s round 11.

Hands
In red orange yarn
Worked in a spiral
Round 1) 6 sc in mc (6)
R2) Sc around (6)
Fasten off, leave a tail for sewing on. Whip stitch onto body, I put mine between rows 5 & 8


Use felt to create cheek blush, hot glue or felt on with felting needle.
Please enjoy, and let me know if you have any questions!
