The blanket section is made in square rows with a sl st at the end of each row. This is written with the assumption that the color will be changed in each row. To do that, fasten off at the end of each row and join yarn into the ch2 corner space to start that row.
Row 1: in a magic ring; ch3, 2dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2, sl st into the top of the first ch3
Row 2: ch1, ch3, *(sc, ch2, sc) in the ch2 corner sp from the previous row, ch3* repeat * 3x, (sc, ch2) in the last ch2 corner sp from the previous row, sl st into the first ch1
Row 3: (ch3, 2dc) in the ch2 sp, *3dc in the ch3 sp, (3dc, ch2, 3dc) in the ch2 corner sp* repeat * 3x, 3dc in the ch3 sp, (3dc, ch2) in the last ch2 corner sp, sl st into the top of the first ch3
Row 4: ch1, ch3 above each cluster of 3 dc, sc between each of the clusters of 3dc, (sc, ch2, sc) in each ch2 corner sp, In the last ch2 sp, (sc, ch2), sl st into the first ch1

Repeat Rows 4 and 5 for a total of 19 rows.
Row 20: ch1, sc in each dc around, sl st, and fasten off.

Seaming

Pinch the base of the ears together and secure them with a few stitches, join to the head at around 5 rows down from the center, in the middle of the head. Repeat with the other ear.
Join the head to the blanket. Suggest attaching through the center of each and then around in line with rows 1-2 of the blanket.
Fill the arms (around halfway or whatever your preference is) and join in line with the head and the blanket seam.

Face

If safety eyes have already been added, add a nose/mouth however you prefer.
To follow the face pictured below, you’ll need your lightweight yarn or thread and a needle.
Starting with the nose & mouth, join the yarn in the center of the face approximately halfway down.
Make a vertical line the height of 3 rows.
Working back up to the top of the line, extend horizontally to form a T shape approximately 3 sts wide
Using the nose/mouth as a guide, count across 3 sts and form a horizontal eye line for another 3 sts. Repeat on the other side of the nose.
