Crochet Woodland Red Squirrel

I named my squirrel "Pepper Jack"

I used a size K hook for the tail.

I used a J hook for the squirrel.

I used an N hook for the bow.

Nose and Mouth

-embroidery needle-

White

 Blue 

The blue from the yarn skein.

White and black for the mouth.

Ears

I used this video pattern for the ears but I folded them in half.

I used my yarn needle to sew the sides and the bottom.

Then I sewed them to the head with my yarn needle and matching yarn.

Bow 

2 different colors of Olive

Chain 35 with N hook

Tie around the neck

Tac it in the back of the neck.

Put a few stitches in the bowknot in the front

to keep it from coming untied.

Feet and Hands

I tied a piece of the matching yarn

around both hands and both feet. 

I tied them in a double knot and cut them 

all the same length.

The Body and Limbs

Introducing 

"Pepper Jack" the woodland squirrel

tail

This is just a sample of how to do the tail.   chain 15.

Then dc two rows.  Turn your work sideways.  Make sc crochet in the dc line.

Chain 10 then sc back into the same double crochet line.  Do that 9 more times in the same double crochet line space.  Continue to the next dc line.  Sc and then chain ten Sc into the same line.  Do that 9 more times.  You continue to follow this pattern all the way down. The whole two rows of dc should be full of chained loops.   You can form your tail or hair by adding chained loops by length or volume where you

want to, to give it the shape you want or make it as full as you want.  You can change your crochet base to change your tail or form a hairstyle.
