Captain Caveman is a very old cartoon that was very popular when I was a child. I think this character represents a person who lived in the Stone Age. The red thing he holds in his hand is a very thick piece of wood, which even looks like a baseball stove. I can easily say that the toy, which looks very cute with a mustache and hair, is very similar to the cartoon character. I have always loved drawings of eyes made with thread, and here we see a realistic eye drawing made with white and black thread.

Don’t worry about using too many colors when making the toy, because the pieces you are going to crochet are usually independent of each other and there is no need to change colors. We can see that the toy has a simple cover made in orange.

Hair
Pass 4 pieces of Black yarn through the magic ring, leaving a knot inside the doll and tighten the magic ring. (I use Soft amigurumi, which allows you to separate the twisted yarns, so I passed 1 piece of this yarn, and undid the twist on the outside.)
Mustaches
Take 3 pieces of yarn, make a knot in the middle and leave the knot inside the doll. Pull the 3 ends out of one side of the nose, and the other 3 ends out of the other side.
** You can add a drop of glue to hold the knots in place and the yarns won’t come loose.

Assembly
>> Embroider the eyes with White on rows 5 and 6 with 2 stitches between them, centering with the nose. With thick Black thread, embroider the pupil on the eyes.
>> Embroider the eyebrows with thinner Black thread, on row 4 with 1 stitch long.
>> Sew or glue the feet with the heels together, centering the “V” under the body so that it can stand on its own, as shown in the photo.
>> Sew the cape above the arms, behind the doll.
>> Sew attaching the club to the doll’s hand, bending the arm, and with the club resting on the shoulder.
