Row 17: sc next, dec over next 2, around (12)
Row 18: dec over next 2 around (6)
FO Weave tail between loops and pull closed.

With red, 6 sc in magic circle (6)
Row 1: sc next 2, 2 sc next, around (8)
Row 2-4: sc in each sc around (8)
Row 5: sc next 2, dec over next 2, around (6)
FO Weave tail between loops and pull closed. I didn’t stuff his feet, but you can if you want.
 

Legs: (make 2)
With red, ch 6, join (6)
Row 1: sc in each ch around (6)
Row 2-3: sc in each sc around (6)
FO
Sew legs to feet. For added support you can stuff the legs. Sew legs/feet to body.

 
Cut two circles out of white felt for eyes and two small circles out of black for pupils. Glue together and then glue to face.

Tangles: (make as many as necessary for coverage)
The tangles are made from a series of chains. To start, ch 3,then place hook under a loop somewhere on the body, pull yarn under loop on body and then thru loop on hook, ch again (anywhere from 3 to 8), once again place hook under body loop, pull yarn under loop and thru loop on hook. Continue this pattern a couple of more times, randomly moving around the body. When you are ready to finish the chain, ch 3.

The chains should start and stop at random places. The chain should overlap and go under each other. Basically, you will be creating a big tangle. The only area on the body not covered by tangles is where the eyes are.
