1. R1: Magic ring, 6 sc. (6 sts)
2. R2: Inc in each stitch around. (12 sts)

4. R4: (Sc in next 2 stitches, inc) around. (24 sts)
5. R5-8: Sc in each stitch around. (24 sts) Work 4 rounds of 24 sc each. This creates the main body height.

7. R10-12: Sc in each stitch around. (18 sts) Work 3 rounds of 18 sc each. This shapes the lower body/waist area.
8. Stuff: Fill the body with fiberfill. It should be firm but still squishy.

10. R14: Dec around. (6 sts) Work 6 decreases to close the bottom.

3. R3-6: Sc in each stitch around. (9 sts) Work 4 rounds of 9 sc each. The arm will be a small tube.
4. Stuff lightly: Fill the arm with just a small amount of fiberfill—enough to give it shape but keep it flexible.
5. R7: Dec around. (5 sts) Work 4 decreases (you'll have 1 stitch left over; just work a sc in it to even out).
6. Fasten off, leaving a long tail (about 10 inches) for sewing the arm to the body.

4. R5: (Sc in next stitch, dec) around. (8 sts) Work 1 sc in the next stitch, then decrease. Repeat 4 times.
5. Stuff: Fill the leg with fiberfill, making it firm enough to support the body when standing.
6. R6: Dec around. (4 sts) Work 4 decreases to close the bottom.
7. Fasten off, leaving a long tail (about 10 inches) for sewing.

CAPE (Knitted)

Using size 7 knitting needles and Stained Glass yarn. This creates a beautiful, shimmery cape with eyelet holes for the stars.

1. Cast on 30 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Leave a tail of about 6 inches to weave in later.
2. Rows 1-2: Knit across all stitches. (Garter stitch – you'll see ridges forming)
3. Row 3 (Eyelet row): K2, *yo (yarn over), k2tog (knit 2 together), k1; repeat from * to last 2 stitches, k2. This creates a row of small holes across the cape.
4. Rows 4-5: Knit across all stitches.
5. Row 6 (Eyelet row): Repeat Row 3 instructions.
6. Rows 7-8: Knit across all stitches.
7. Row 9 (Eyelet row): Repeat Row 3 instructions.
8. Rows 10-11: Knit across all stitches.
9. Row 12 (Eyelet row): Repeat Row 3 instructions.
10. Rows 13-14: Knit across all stitches.
11. Bind off loosely: Bind off all stitches using a loose bind-off method (like the standard knit bind-off but don't pull too tight). Leave a long tail (about 12 inches) for sewing the cape to the body.
12. Weave in ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in the cast-on tail and any other loose ends, but leave the bind-off tail for assembly.
