— Head :
Round 1 :
Yarn A 1: 6 loops, turning, 5sc (starting from the 2nd loop from the hook), 5sc (from the back of the chain) (10l)
Round 2 :
2: [4sc, inc]x2 (12l)
Round 3-5 :
3-5: 12sc (12l)
Info :
Next, you need to crochet the head of yarn A and yarn B at once alternately change the thread, but not cutting it to get fluffy cheeks. This technique is called jacquard.
Info :
Color changing technique: when crocheting the last Yarn A sc, insert the hook into the loop, pull out the thread, crochet this sc to the end with Yarn B thread (see photo 1). Then the Yarn A thread is thrown forward, and the Yarn B working thread goes backwards (see photos 2, 3). To change the thread back: when crocheting the last Yarn B sc, insert the hook into the loop, pull out the thread, crochet this sc to the end with the Yarn A thread (see photo 4). It's more convenience to move on only Yarn A, leave Yarn B where it ends and grab again when it necessary (see photo 5, 6).

Round 4 :
4: 18sc (Yarn C + Yarn A) (18l)
Info :
Next crochet with Yarn A only, cut the Yarn C leaving a long end for sewing! Remove the pin marking the beginning of the round. Fold the resulting 18 loops in half and in the next round, crochet both halves together.

Info :
At the end of the row, when crocheting the last grey sc, insert the hook into the loop, pull out the thread, crochet this sc to the end with a black thread grabbing it in the place where it remained. A 'loose stitch' is formed on the wrong side. You need to move it forward along with the grey thread so when crocheting jacquard it will be inside and the wrong side will become neat.

— Assemblage :
Info :
Sew your crocheted hands and legs to the body with a threaded bracing (use round-nosed pliers to make it easier to pull the needle).
Step 1 :
Attach the limbs using needles for cutting (hands between 7 and 8 rounds of body, distance between legs approx. 18 stitches, legs between 15 and 16 rounds of body, distance between legs approx. 22 stitches). Check that the badger sits steadily. Detach the hands and legs without removing the needles from them, and insert other needles for cutting in their place.
Step 2 :
Insert the needle through the back into the hand attachment point (leaving the loose end of the thread outside).
Step 3 :
Thread the needle through two loops on the inner surface of the hand (the needle for cutting must be in the middle).
Step 4 :
Insert the needle into the body at the hand attachment point and pull out it at the point of attachment of the second hand.
Step 5 :
Pass the needle through the second hand in the same way. Sew the body and the hands two more times in the same way for strength.
Step 6 :
Insert the needle at the hand attachment point and pull out it at the point of attachment of the opposite leg. Thread the needle through the leg. Insert the needle into the body at the leg attachment point and pull out it at the point of attachment of the second leg. Pass the needle through the second leg. Sew the body and the legs two more times in the same way for strength.
Step 7 :
Insert the needle into the body at the leg attachment point and pull out it the back in the place where it was introduced at the very beginning. Tie a few knots. Sew the tail to the body.
