Head

Start with crème

2. 2 sc in each sc (12)
3. 2 sc in each 2nd sc (18)
4. 1 sc in each sc (18)

13. 1 sc in each sc (48)
14. 2 sc in each 8th sc (54)
15-17. (3 rounds) 1 sc in each sc (54)

Insert the eyes between round 12 and 13 with approx. 17 st in between.

If you use safety eyes with a hole at the end, you can place them now. Pull them together with a
yarn en make a knot in the yarn. It is easier to determine the shape by stuffing the nose a little
bit.

 18. each 8th + 9th tog. (48)
19. 1 sc in each sc (48)
20. each 7th + 8th tog. (42)
21. 1 sc in each sc (42)
Start stuffing the head

23. each 5th + 6th tog. (30)
24. each 4th + 5th tog. (24)
25. each 3th + 4th tog. (18)
26. each 2nd + 3th tog. (12)

Stuff the head, cut the yarn, and leave enough to close the circle. Weave the yarn through the
last 12 st and close the circle. F/O.
If you don’t use eyes with a hole at the end:
Insert a needle with thread at round 15 in the neck, right up to the back of the eye. Insert the
needle a bit higher (still behind the eye) at the inside to the other eye. Then, still at the back of
the eye, back down again. Pull the yarn carefully so the eyes lie deeper. Make a firm knot and
try to save some yarn to sew to the body later.
Embroider a nose.
