Row 1: Sc in first 12 ch, hdc in rem 15, ch 2, turn (27 sts)
Now - working in back loops hereafter:

Row 3: sc in next 11 sc,ch 1, skip 1 sc, hdc in next 15 hdc, ch 2, turn (27)
Rows 4 - 20: Rep rows 2 and 3.
Fold in half lengthwise, sew side seam and gather opening close. The wider part is the bottom.
Insert small circle of plastic, jar lid or cardboard (this helps it to
stand). Stuff up to the ch 1 spaces. Weave yarn thru ch 1 spaces and pull tight and tie off. This forms the head.
Now stuff head and gather opening to close.

ARMS (Make 2)
Rnd 1: With H hook Ch 2 and 8 sc in first sc, do not join but mark the beg of each rnd.
Rnd 2 - 5: Sc in eac sc, at end of rnd 5, ch 1 turn.
Now we are working in rows:
Row 1: Sc in 4 sc, ch 1 turn
Row 2 and 3: Rep row 1, end off, stuff very lightly.
Sew single layer to body. This method of making the arms keeps the arms close to the body.
(I'm lazy and use tacky glue to keep them in place.)
