Large intestine

This large intesting pattern is part of a series of patterns I'm releasing that fit together to create a complete digestive tract. I have altready published a lot of these patterns, including those for the small intestine and the stomach.

Difficulty:

Medium

You will need:

• A 2mm crochet hook
• A 2.5mm crochet hook
• Anchor creativa fino 4ply cotton in apricot (at least 3 balls)
• cream dk cotton
• Black dk yarn (for the eyes - optional)
• A scrap of white embroidery thread (optional)
• A darning needle
• Polyester toy stuffing

Note: 

• This pattern includes the back-to-front single crochet stitch (bfsc). A video to show you how to do this can be found here. It's pretty simple but if you can't work it out you can just use a regular single crochet stitch, but this will give it a slightly different look.
• Ideally the slip stitches on the rows using bfsc should also be made in this way, pulling the yarn through from the side facing you to the opposite side. Again it's not fundamanetal to the pattern but it improves the look of the piece.

For the intestine:

Fasten off neatly

Stuff firmly

Sew up the holes made when making the 2nd turn (around row 180)

Finally with cream yarn and a 2.5mm hook make one 95cm long chain and sew this to the outer side of the intestine. Make a, 83cm long chain and sew this to the inside. This should start at the base and reach up until the start of the rectum (see image below)

For the eyes (make 2):

These are optional but make the intestine look more cute and cuddly.

With black 4ply yarn and a 2mm hook make a magic loop with 6sc

Fasten off

Use white thread to embroider highlights onto each eye then sew them to the face.
