Sew the tummy to the body, with the top at about the same level as round 23. You can embroider the details on the face now, and hide the end of the black yarn behind the tummy.

The nose is several horizontal lines with a small vertical line at the bottom. The whiskers are three single lines under the eyes on each side.
The mouth is a single very small horizontal line. You could make the big smile that Totoro sometimes has with some white felt, glued or sewn neatly on, with black vertical lines sewn across with thread.

Yarn
• Norli Lana Little Woorli (Hazel) for body, head, arms and ears
• Norli Lana Little Woorli (Cafe Latte) for antlers and details
• Katia Concept Mohair Cotton (Gris Pierre 77) for collar

Note: The result depending on the thickness of the yarn size of your hook. You can adapt the size of your hook according to the way you work: if you crochet tight, use the recommended crochet hook or larger. But if you have usually crochet rather loosely, use a smaller size hook. Using the threads recommended in this pattern allows you to obtain a result similar to the basic model.

Assembly
Feel free to use a few pins to help with positioning
• Sew the arms between round 32 and 33 of the body
• Sew the small collar at the neck, make sure to secure the assembly by passing saveral times if necessary in a few stitches.
• Sew the ears between rounds 21 and 22 of the head.
• Sew the antlers between rounds 21 and 22 of the head, between the ears.

Face embroidery
• Embroider thin little lines above muzzle. Take your beige yarn
• Embroider two small black lines on each side of the face
• Now all we have to do is sew the little head of our pretty deer. To do this, position it with a few pins and sew together some stitches of the body (and the collar assembled) with the stitches of the underside of the head.

Attaching with thread vs. yarn tail
For a cleaner look, I opted to cut the yarn tails on the inner ears short and weave them into the back of the work, then attach the inner ears to the ears with matching thread. However, you can also attach them using a yarn needle and the yarn tail. It’s up to you!

Regarding stitch markers
Note: The photos above show a fox, but the technique is the same for all of my patterns.The pattern indicates to insert 4 different stitch markers in various places besides the one you use to track the beginning/end of each round.
I recommend using strands of yarn in 3 different colors as your stitch markers: Two strands in color 1 (blue) to mark where you will place each eye, Two strands color 2 (pink) to mark where you will start attaching each ear, and one long strand in color 3 (green) to track the beginning/end of each round.
The photos above demonstrate how to mark a stitch while crocheting a round: lay your strand of yarn acting as a marker over your working yarn and the stitch you’ll be working into, then complete the stitch as normal.You’ll essentially be weaving the long strand in color 3 through your work with each round. On odd rounds you’ll be laying the strand back-to-front, and on even rounds you’ll be laying the strand front-to-back.The advantage of using this technique is you’ll have the beginning of every single round marked, which makes it much easier to find your place if you make a mistake. That said, It’s perfectly fine to use a regular ol’ safety pin-like marker to keep track of your rounds instead. 

How to indent the eyes
Note: The video above shows a unicorn, but the technique is the same for all of my patterns.
Step 1 – Cut a strand of yarn approximately 18″ long. Tie a large, secure knot in one end and thread the other end through your yarn needle.
Step 2 – Insert your needle through the back opening of the head and sew between the two spots where you’ll be placing your safety eyes (marked with your color 1 stitch markers).
Step 3 – Pull your strand of yarn taut, which will create indents.
Step 4 – Fasten off with a knot and hide your yarn tail inside the head.

How to add hair for the mane and tail
Step 1 – Cut 10″ long strands of yarn. How many depends on your personal preference, but I ended up using well over 100. As you can see in the 4th photo above, I only rooted hair on every other round, but filled in the gaps with one strand of yarn on each side.I recommend finding a book or DVD case to wrap your yarn around several times, then cut along the top – it makes the process of cutting yarn strands much faster and it’s easier to produce a consistent length.
Optional: Use a ruler and a disappearing ink marker to draw a rectangle on the head as a guide for where to root the mane. You can do the same for the tail by tracing something circular (about 1.5″ in diameter) on the rear.
Step 2 – Fold a strand of yarn in half, insert your hook under a stitch in the head or body. Use your hook to catch your yarn strand and pull through a loop, then pull your tail ends of the strand through the loop.This video illustrates the technique perfectly, except I insert my hook front-to-back instead of side-to-side.
Step 3 – If giving your creation to a small child, be sure to secure each strand of hair with a knot so it can’t easily be pulled out.

PATTERN DETAILS

Finished size approximately: 6.5 in. (16.5 cm.) tall

Abbreviation key (US terms)
sc – single crochet,
st/sts – stitch(es),
Sl st – slip stitch,
dec – decrease (sc the next 2 stitches together),
inc – increase (2 single crochet in the next stitch),
R1 – round 1,
Rep – repeat,
** – repeat this group of instructions amount of times indicated

Notes

– All rounds are worked continuously (that is, vs. joined rounds.)
– For sewing the nose to the head, I would recommend you use the “seamless join” method for a cleaner look. You can find an excellent tutorial explaining it here

PART ONE

For this first week we will be  making the head and nose of our koala.

Head (Using gray yarn)
R1: Ch 2, 6 sc in 2^nd ch from hook (you can use the magic circle if you prefer as it won’t make a difference in the end.)
R2: *Inc* rep 6 times (12 sts)
R3: *Sc 1, inc* rep 6 times (18 sts)
R4: *Sc 2, inc* rep 6 times (24 sts)
R5: *Sc 3, inc* rep 6 times (30 sts)
R6: *Sc 4, inc* rep 6 times (36 sts)
R7: *Sc 5, inc* rep 6 times (42 sts)
R8: *Sc 6, inc* rep 6 times (48 sts)
R9: *Sc 7, inc* rep 6 times (54 sts)
R10: *Sc 8, inc* rep 6 times (60 sts)
R11-14: Sc in all 60 sts (4 rounds total—60 sts)
R15: *Sc 9, inc* rep 6 times (66 sts)
R16-18: Sc in all 66 sts (3 rounds total—66 sts)
R19: *Sc 10, inc* rep 6 times (72 sts)
R20-23: Sc in all 72 sts (4 rounds total—72 sts)
R24: *Sc 11, inc* rep 6 times (78 sts)
R25: *Sc 11, dec* rep 6 times (72 sts)
R26: *Sc 10, dec* rep 6 times (66 sts)
R27: *Sc 9, dec* rep 6 times (60 sts)
R28: *Sc 8, dec* rep 6 times (54 sts)
R29: *Sc 7, dec* rep 6 times (48 sts)
R30: *Sc 6, dec* rep 6 times (42 sts)

Insert the eyes between R23 & 24, 13 sts apart. (Hint: insert the 1st eye. Count 13 sts from the hole where you inserted the 1st eye and insert the 2nd eye.) (See pic. #1).

R31: *Sc 5, dec 1* rep 6 times (36 sts)
R32: *Sc 4, dec 1* rep 6 times (30 sts)

Stop and start to stuff the head, continuing as you work. The secret to keeping the head shape is to push the stuffing down and out. So, when you get to the widest part, the cheeks, push the stuffing out toward the sides to keep the shape and define the cheeks. Don’t worry if the bottom is slightly flat, since we want that “gumdrop” look.

R33: *Sc 3, dec 1* rep 6 times (24 sts)
R34: *Sc 2, dec 1* rep 6 times (18 sts)
R35: *Sc 1, dec 1* rep 6 times (12 sts)
R36: *Dec 1* rep 6 times (6 sts)

Finish off. Finish stuffing head firmly, and use the tail to sew up hole, then weave in your end.

Nose (Using black yarn)

R1: Ch 5, starting in 2^nd ch from hook sc 3, inc 1, turn and in the front loops of the ch, inc 1, sc 3 (10 sts)

(See pic. #2.) This is called a foundation chain and is a great way to start a piece that you want to be more oval than round. After crocheting through the top loops of the chain, you turn your work around and crochet in the bottom loops of the chain. The first round is complete! Now you just continue as you normally would

R2: Inc 1, sc 2, inc 4, sc 2, inc 1 (16 sts)
R3: Sc 1, inc 1, sc 4, inc 1, sc 1, inc 3, sc 5 (21 sts)
R4: Sc in all 21 sts (21 sts)

Finish off leaving long tail for sewing. Finish off very neatly using this technique here. 

Sew to the head directly between the eyes over R11-23 approx. Just before you finish sewing it down, stuff lightly. (See pics. #3, #4, & #5.)

When sewing on any body part I recommend that you use straight pins to arrange and secure each piece while sewing it on. This will ensure that everything goes on straight and things stay where you want them to be.

PART TWO

For this second week we will be making the ears and body of our koala.

Ears (Using gray yarn)
R1: Ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook
R2: *Inc* rep 6 times (12 sts)
R3: *Sc 1, inc* rep 6 times (18 sts) 
R4: *Sc 2, inc* rep 6 times (24 sts)
R5: *Sc 3, inc* rep 6 times (30 sts)
R6: *Sc 4, inc* rep 6 times (36 sts) 
R7-8: Sc in all 36 sts (2 rounds total—36 sts)
R9: *Sc 4, dec* rep 6 times (30 sts)
R10: *Sc 3, dec* rep 6 times (24 sts) 

Finish off leaving long tail for sewing. Do not stuff ears. Now we are going to make the ears fuzzy. Using a pet brush, vigourously brush each ear until it is fluffy and fuzzy. Keep brushing until you are satisfied with the fuzziness. (See pics. #6 & #7.) 

Sew the open ends of the ears closed using our long tail. (See pic. #8.) 

Sew the ears to either side of the head over R10-23. Make sure that the ears are curved when you sew them on. (See pics. #9, #10, & #11.)

Body (Using gray yarn) 

R1: Ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook 
R2: *Inc* rep 6 times (12 sts) 
R3: *Sc 1, inc* rep 6 times (18 sts)
R4: *Sc 2, inc* rep 6 times (24 sts)
R5: *Sc 3, inc* rep 6 times (30 sts) 
R6: *Sc 4, inc* rep 6 times (36 sts)
R7: *Sc 5, inc* rep 6 times (42 sts)
R8-18: Sc in all 42 sts (11 rounds total—42 sts)
R19: *Sc 5, dec* rep 6 times (36 sts)
R20: Sc in all 36 sts (36 sts)

Finish off leaving long tail for sewing. Stuff firmly and sew to the head. (See pic. #12.)

PART THREE

For this third and final week, we will be finishing our koala up by making his arms and legs.

Arms (Using gray yarn)
R1: Ch 2, 6 sc in 2^nd ch from hook
R2: *Sc 2, inc* rep 2 times (8 sts)
R3-7: Sc in all 8 sts (5 rounds total—8 sts)
R8: *Sc 3, inc* rep 2 times (10 sts)
R9-14: Sc in all 10 sts (6 rounds total—10 sts)
R15: *Sc 1, dec* rep 3 times, sc 1 (7 sts)
Finish off leaving long tail for sewing. ( See pic. #13.)

Stuff very lightly and sew the open ends closed. Sew the first arm to the front of the body, slightly to the left of the nose (from his perspective) just under the head over R17-20 of the body.(See pic. #14.) 

It should be sewn on at a slight angle so that the bottom of the arm is extending out just a bit more than the top. Do the same for the second arm, except sew it to the backside of the body close enough to the first arm so that the tips of his paws touch. (See pics. #15, #16, & #17.)

Once you’ve sewn both arms on, take some extra gray yarn and sew the tips of his paws together. (See pics. #18 & #19.)

Once you’ve sewn them together securely, weave in all ends.

Legs (Using gray yarn)
R1: Ch 2, 6 sc in 2^nd ch from hook
R2: *Inc* rep 6 times (12 sts)
R3: *Sc 1, inc* rep 6 times (18 sts)
R4-7: Sc in all 18 sts (4 rounds total—18 sts)
R8: *Dec* rep 6 times, sc 6 (12 sts)
R9: *Dec* rep 4 times, sc 4 (8 sts)
R10-12: Sc in all 8 sts (3 rounds total—8 sts)
R13: Sc 1, inc 2, sc 2, dec 1, sc 1 (9 sts)
R14: *Sc 1, inc* rep 2 times, sc 2, dec 1, sc 1  (10 sts)
R15: Sc in all 10 sts (10 sts)
R16: Sc 8, dec (9 sts)
R17: *Dec* rep 4 times, sl st 1 (5 sts)

Finish off leaving long tail for sewing. Flatten the leg. (See pic. #20.)

The round, larger section of the leg should be slightly indented on one side. That will be the inside of the leg, the side that we sew to the body so that the humpier side is facing out. Stuff R9-17 of the legs but leave the rest unstuffed. Sew the opening of the leg closed very neatly as it will be visible. Weave the existing tail to the back of the leg or take a new length of gray yarn and sew the first leg to the front of the body over R7-13 of body, slightly to the left of the arm (from his perspective). Do the same for the back side leg, sewing it close enough to the first leg so that the paws are almost touching. (See pics. #21-#26.)
