To make the legs, we will leave a long yarn in the beginning of the work. We will use a technique called cocave feet.

15. 18 sc (18)
16. 1sc, (3sc,1inc)x4, 1 sc (22)
Finish of on the first leg. On the second leg, continue crocheting to the body. Before doing so, make the details on the arms and legs:
Arms: On the loops left on the 8th row attach a new white yarn and (chain 1, 1 slst) to the end.
Legs: On the loops left on the 12th row, attach a new white yarn and (chain 1, 1 slst) to the end.
Body
From 2nd leg.
17. 2 sc on 2nd leg, 22 sc on 1ª leg, 20 sc on 2nd leg (44)
18. (10sc,1inc)x4 (48)
19. 48 sc (48)
20. BLO: (11sc,1inc)x4 (52)
21-22. 52 sc (52) (2 rows)
23. (11sc,1dec)x4 (48)

29. (9sc,dec)x4 (40)
30-31. 40 sc (40) (2 rows)
32. (8sc,dec)x4 (36)
Now we will join the arms to the body.
Pay attention so the arms are in the sides of the body with the thumbs (bobble stitch) pointing forward.
It may be necessary to make some adjustments in the quantities of stitches so the arms are in the sides of the body. I made my this way:
33. 11 sc on the body, 6 sc joining a stitch of the arm to a stitch of the body, 12 sc on the body, 6 sc joining a stitch of the arm to a stitch of the body, 1 sc on the body (36)
34. 11 sc on the body, 6 sc on the rest of the stitches of the arm, 12 sc on the body, 6 sc on the rest of the stitches of the arm, 1 sc on the body (36)
If you want to insert wire in the arms, now is a good time to do so.

36. (3sc,1dec)x6 (24)
37. (2sc,1dec)x6 (18)

9. 3 dec, 3 sc (6)
Close with inverted magic ring. Leave a long end for sewing.
The mustaches are sewed on the beard, next to the nose.
Eyes
Black embroidering yarn.
I embroided the eyes with a back yarn. I started the eyes entering the head with the yarn and exiting one stitch away and up from the nose, entering 5 stitches to the side, securing the middle of the eyes one row up, so it would look curved, as if he was smilling. You can also use safety eyes, if you wish so.
Eyebrows
White.
The eyebrows were embroided as wide as the eyes, using the eyes as reference to entering and exiting stitches to start and end the eyebrows. The eyebrows go down diagonally 2 rows. I made 3 loops with the white yarn so the eyebrows would look thick.
