over half a skein of Red Heart Supersaver -- 4.5 oz/236 yards)

Two 12mm safety eyes
Small amounts of black and white embroidery floss
Stuffing material of your choice
Poly pellets and a stocking (optional, if you would like your Baymax to have weighted legs)
A couple square inches of cardboard
Construction Notes:
All pieces are worked in continuous rounds.
US crochet terms/sizing.
Weighting the legs with poly pellets is optional you may choose to just use stuffing instead, and this will
work just fine.

insert needle through same two holes, wrap floss over top of hand.
o Pull floss tightly, and tie a firm knot against the hand.
o Snip floss ends and dab knot with fray check if desired.
Repeat this process again, a couple of stitches from the first finger.

Leg 1 break yarn and weave in end.
Leg 2 do not break yarn! Youre going to crochet Leg 2 to Leg 1 now.

to one stitch of Leg 2.

Snip between knots, and trim long end of
stocking.

Place a little stuffing inside legs on top of cardboard circles.

Insert one pellet pouch into each leg.
