Stuff; sew chainsaw to top of head, just above MC, with inc edge at top; embroider or place safety eyes level with bottom of chainsaw;
[*if you are using a yarn that makes the bobble stitch not pop out as much as it does with chenille yarn you could sew on a snout:
1. MC [sc, 2 hdc, sc] *2 (8)
2. sc*8 (8)
Make 2, sew just under the chainsaw]

Ch 3, sk 1, hdc, dc
Sew dc to centre of end
Attach in black yarn, chain between 15 and 20 depending on how long you want the cord
Sc or slip stitch (depending on how thick you want the tail) all the way up, attach the loop partway down to make the handle and slip stitch back to the start.
Sew tail onto body, weave in any remaining ends and there you have your little guy!
