  4. (2 sc, inc) x6 (24)

  8. (sc, dec) x6 (12)

  9. dec x6 (6)
    Fasten off, stuff firmly, and set aside.

🦙 Legs with White Hooves (Make 4)

Each leg begins at the hoof in white and transitions into rainbow colors before being joined to form the body.

  1. With white yarn:
    MR, 6 sc (6)

  2. inc x6 (12)

  3. (sc, inc) x6 (18)
    4–6. sc around (18) ← Creates the round white hoof

💡 Color change tip: On the last stitch of round 6, insert the hook, yarn over with new color, and pull through to finish the stitch cleanly.

  1. Switch to rainbow color (e.g., purple):
    7–9. sc around (18)

  • Fasten off after rounds on the first 3 legs.

  • On the 4th leg, do not fasten off – you’ll continue by joining all four legs together.

🧶 Join Legs & Build the Body

  1. Join Legs:

  • With yarn still attached to the 4th leg:

    • ch 6

    • sl st to next leg

    • sc around that leg (18)

    • sc across ch (6)

    • sl st to next leg

    • sc around that leg (18)

    • sc across other side of ch (6)

👉 You now have a joined base of 48 stitches (18 + 6 + 18 + 6).

  1. Place stitch marker and continue in spiral.
    12–14. sc around (48)

🐉 Crocodile Stitch Rainbow Body

Start working crocodile stitch in rainbow stripes. Each stripe = 1 round of scales in one color.

  1. (ch 1, 2 dc in one st, skip 1, 2 dc in next) around.

  2. Work crocodile stitches over each 2-dc post group.

  3. Change colors after each scale round:

    • Purple, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Pink

  4. After final scale round, switch to single crochet to close the top of the body (around 30–36 sts) and begin shaping the neck.

Start stuffing the body as you go.

🧷 Neck Shaping (optional)

After finishing crocodile layers:

  1. (3 sc, dec) around (24)

  2. 2 rounds sc (24)

  3. (2 sc, dec) around (18)
    Stuff the neck and sew the head to the top.

🐾 Ears (Make 2)

With white yarn:

  1. MR, 4 sc (4)

  2. (sc, inc) x2 (6)

  3. (2 sc, inc) x2 (8)
    4–7. sc around (8)
    Flatten and sew to the top sides of the head.

😍 Face Details

  • Insert 12 mm safety eyes between rounds 8–9 of the head.

  • Stitch a gentle smile and nose with black embroidery thread.

  • Add blush or pastel cheeks for extra charm.

🧵 Final Touches

  • Stuff the body well and shape the base flat so it sits upright.

  • Add a rainbow tail (make a small pom-pom or braid strands).

  • Optionally attach accessories like a mini scarf or flower crown!
