Materials:
Crochet hook size G
Main color: Red Heart Yarn in Turqua (1 skein)
Secondary color: Red Heart Yarn in white (1 skein)
Some scrap black yarn
Tapestry Needle
A sewing needle and some black thread
A decent amount of stuffing
Two circles of black felt, with a radius of 1 in. (two inches across)
It helps to have some sort of stitch marker. I find this method works quite well.
Upper Beak:
Using secondary color, ch2, then sc4 in the first chain
R1: [sc1, inc] twice (6 sc)
R2: [sc1, inc] 3 times (9 sc)
R3: [sc2, inc] 3 times (12 sc)
R4: [sc3, inc] 3 times (15 sc)
R5: [sc4, inc] 3 times (18 sc)
R6: [sc5, inc] 3 times (21 sc)
R5: [sc6, inc] 3 times (24 sc)
R6: [sc7, inc] 3 times (27 sc)
Lower Beak:
Using secondary color, ch2, then sc4 in the first chain
R1: [sc1, inc] twice (6 sc)
R2: [sc1, inc] 3 times (9 sc)
R3: [sc2, inc] 3 times (12 sc)
R4: [sc3, inc] 3 times (15 sc)
R5: [sc4, inc] 3 times (18 sc)
R6: [sc5, inc] 3 times (21 sc)
Head:
With main color
R1: sc6 using magic ring method. Pull it tight (6 sc)
R2: sc2 in each stitch around (12 sc)
R3: [sc1, inc] 6 times (18 sc)
R4: [sc2, inc] 6 times (24 sc)
R5: [sc3, inc] 6 times (30 sc)
R6: [sc4, inc] 6 times (36 sc)
R7: [sc5, inc] 6 times (42 sc)
R8: [sc6, inc] 6 times (48 sc)
R9: [sc7, inc] 6 times (54 sc)
R10: [sc8, inc] 6 times (60 sc)
R11: [sc9, inc] 6 times (66 sc)
R12: [sc10, inc] 6 times (72 sc)
R13-R21: sc in each st around (72 sc)
R22: [sc10, dec] 6 times (66 sc)
R23: [sc9, dec] 6 times (60 sc)
At this time you want to sew on the eyes and the beak.
I sewed on the eyes with a regular needle and thread.
Make sure the upper and lower beak and sufficiently stuffed.
If needed, crochet a few more rows so that you can easily sew on the lower beak.
R24: [sc8, dec] 6 times (54 sc)
R25: [sc7, dec] 6 times (48 sc)
R26: [sc6, dec] 6 times (42 sc)
R27: [sc5, dec] 6 times (36 sc)
R28: [sc4, dec] 6 times (30 sc)
R29: [sc3, dec] 6 times (24 sc)
Stuff head as much as you can.
R30: [sc2, dec] 6 times (18 sc)
R31: [sc1, dec] 6 times (12 sc)
Add more stuffing to fill in the rest of the head
R32: [dec] 6 times (6 sc)
Finish off and then stitch up the bottom of the head.

R31: ch1, [sc4, dec] 6 times, join with ss (35 sc)
R32-R34: ch1, sc1 in each st, join with ss (35 sc)
Tie off.
Arms (Make two) :
Fingers-
Using main color, ch2, sc4 into first st (4 sc)
R1: ch1, [sc1, inc] two times (6 sc)
R2: ch1, [sc2, inc] two times (8 sc)
R3-R5: sc1 in each st around (8 sc)
Tie off (First two only)
Make three. Instead of tying off the third one like you did with the first two,
instead keep the thread attached. Sew together the three fingers and then
continue to crochet around. It doesn't really matter how many stitches you end
up with at this point, but you should have somewhere around 20 st. Before you
get to far along you want to stuff the very tips of the fingers. I ended up
just using the lose ends to stuff the fingertips.
Continue to sc around until you're arm is about 8 inches long (Finger tips to
end).
Legs (make two):
R1: Using secondary color, sc15 using magic ring. Tighten slightly. Join with ss. (15 sc)
(Using the magic ring in this situation may be a bit unorthodox, but I found that it worked well)
R2-R10: ch1, sc1 in each around, join with ss (15 sc)
With black:
R11: ch1, sc1 in each st, join with ss (15 sc)
With secondary color:
R12-R18: ch1, sc1 in each st, join with ss (15 sc)
With black:
R19: ch1, sc1 in each st, join with ss (15 sc)
With secondary color:
R20-R26: ch1, sc1 in each st, join wtih ss (15 sc)
With black:
R27: ch1, sc1 in each st, join with ss (15 sc)
With white:
R28-R34: ch1, sc1 in each st, join with ss (15 sc)
R35: ch1, [sc3, dec] 3 times, join with ss (12 sc)
R36: ch1, sc1 in each st, join with ss (12 sc)
R37: ch1, [sc3, inc] 3 times, join with ss (15 sc)
R38-R42: ch1, sc1 in each st, join with ss (15 sc)
R43: ch1, [sc3, dec] 3 times, join with ss (12 sc)
R44: ch1, sc1 in each st, join with ss (12 sc)
R45: ch1, [sc2, dec] 3 times, join with ss (9 sc)
R46: ch1, [sc1, dec] 3 times, join with ss (6 sc)
R47: ch1, [dec] 3 times, (3 sc)
Tie off
Stuff the feet area of the legs, then sew the stuffing in and sew the feet
into a bent position.
Sew the arms to the top of the neck.
Stuff the body firmly, then sew the heat to the top. I have the head sewn onslightly more towards the front.
Then sew the legs onto the bottom of the body and Reginald is finished!
Now you have your very own Reginald!
