Ch2.
Round 1: Sc 6 times in to the first chain. (6).
Mark the beginning of the round with a stitch marker and move it up each round as you go.
Round 2: Repeat [2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc.] (10).
Round 3: Repeat [2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in next three sc, 2 sc in next sc.] (14).
Round 4: Repeat [2 sc in next sc, 1 sc in next five sc, 2 sc in next sc.] (18).
Materials: Needles etc: Crochet hook, size E (3.5mm); yarn needle; stitch marker. Yarn: Lion Brand, Vanna's Choice: Mustard (1skein); Rust (1skein) – you'll only use a little of this color; also, a small amount of green, black, and white worsted weight yarn to make the eyes and nose, and the sneakers. Stuffing: Cotton or polyester fill stuffing, or just use a few skeins of unwanted yarn (what I did).
Notes: sc2tog means a single crochet the next two stitches together (adecrease). Pull a loop through the first stitch, and then another loop through the second stitch. Then yarn over the hook and pull through all 3 loops that are on the hook. Tutorial from about.com: http://crochet.about.com/library/bldecrease.htm.
