This is such a cute little guy or girl to make! My nickname is Tweedle bug, kinda like tweedle dee and tweedle dum but you can call them anything you like. They are loosely based on the twiddlebugs from my favorite early childhood tv program
Tweedlebug
Supplies:
Bernat blanket yarn or blanket yarn in any color or colors you like
Fiber fill or any similar stuffing
Puppet eyes
Pipe cleaners for arms and legs and antennae

For this crochet pattern you will need the following stitches:
mc=magic circle

All crocheted in the round and using the invisible decrease (decreasing only using the front loops)
