Let's go hiking

After finishing a basic one, I immediately has an idea to make a hiking Snoopy. 

On top of the work for my first crocheted Snoopy, I need to figure out how to make legs that can stand. Because the pattern that the handcraft shop owner gave me did not have the pattern for legs, so I look for youtubes that teach 'legs', 'shoes for dolls'. I also need a backpack. Again I got my idea by looking at youtubes that teach how to make doll backpack. They are all beautiful, but I have tried made a simple one. 

I also need a hat, that looks a bit like baby's soother. Anyway it should not be a balance cone shape! 

With all these in mind, I started the challenge.

This is my hiking Snoopy

Basic body

Full gear

I used a 3/0 crochet hook this time so the snoopy is smaller. He is  is about 16 cm tall. 

Symbol: sc = single crochet, st = stitch, V = inc 1 stitch, Ù = dec 1 stitch, slst = slipstitch
