SCRAT!!! I'm a huge Scrat fan (though I'm not sure why) so I crocheted this nutty buddy. I crocheted him because the new movie Ice Age 4 is coming out. But if you make him, make sure you crochet his nut, too. ; )
Note: If you do not have an acorn for Scrat to hold onto, you may want to make his arms shorter.

Here we go- Cut a 2 circles from the brown or green felt, then cut 2 smaller circles from the black felt. Sew the circles together using thread and needle, and then sew the circles onto the Eyes. Sew Ear Filling in Ears. Sew Teeth below 18mm nose, Eyes on top of head, Ears behind Eyes, Tufts to side of Eyes, Arms behind Tufts, Hips on sides of Body, Legs on bottom of Hips, and Tail on bottom of Body. Embroidery stripes on Back and Tail with dark grey yarn. Embroidery mouth with black thread or yarn. Tie black yarn on tips of fingers and toes. If you wish, you may sew his hands onto Scrat's Acorn.
Scrat belongs to his original creators and the acorn belongs to Scrat. (But the pattern belongs to me)
