TOWER
Let's start by crocheting the "body" of the Tower,
using the black yarn.

1) 6sc in the MR
2) 6inc [12]
3) (1sc, 1inc) x6 [18]
4) (2sc, 1inc) x6 [24]
5) (3sc, 1inc) x6 [30]
6) (4sc, 1inc) x6 [36]
7) (5sc, 1inc) x6 [42]
8) (6sc, 1inc) x6 [48]
9) BLO: 48sc in the post of stitch
Cut out a circle of acetate, cardboard or some
plastic that is firm. Glue it to the base of your tower,
as shown in image 1. Continue:
10 to 16) 48sc (7 rounds)

Secong floor:
17) BLO: (6sc, 1dec) x6 [42]
18) (5sc, 1dec) x6 [36]
19) FLO: 36sc
20 to 29) 36sc (10 rounds)

Third floor:
30) BLO: (4sc, 1dec) x6 [30]
31) FLO: 30sc
32 to 39) 30sc (8 rounds)
40) BLO: 30sc in the post of stitch
(don't overstuff the top so it doesn't get too full)
41) (3sc, 1dec) x6 [24]
42) 12dec [12]
43) 6dec [6]
Close it with reverse MR, fasten off and hide the yarn tail.
Now we will move on to the details of the tower, which will be divided by
floor, to make it easier. We'll start on the second floor.

SECOND FLOOR
On this floor, the first details are all embroidered. We
will return to the second and final detail after making
the entire first floor.

Cut a large piece of yarn, and embroider vertical lines

all the way around, leaving approximately two rounds
of space between them. The lines go from round 19 to
the end of the floor.
With the vertical lines ready, embroider a horizontal line
that cuts the floor in half. Fasten off and hide the yarn
tail.

FIRST FLOOR

The first floor has three types of details. Let's

start with the door. Make:
1) 6sc in the MR
2) 1sc, 1inc, 2triple inc of hdc , 1inc, 1sc [12]

Finish off and hide the yarn tail (or leave a

long tail if you want to sew). Sew or glue the
door to the base of the floor.

Now we will make the strip that surrounds the

Tower. Make 91 chains. Starting on the second
chain from the hook, make:
1) 90sc
Fasten off and hide the yarn tail. The strip is
glued to the Tower's body. It is very
important that you use a glue that doesn't
stain the piece. (cloth glue or white glue).

With the help of pins, wrap the strip around the

tower floor. On the second turn, the trip should
already reach the second floor. Use the images
to guide.

The third and last detail are mini towers that
surround the floor. To make them, insert the hook
into the apparent loops of round 9 of the Tower,
which was made in BLO. Start at the stitch closest
to the left side of the door, and make 1slst. And
then, continue:
1-3) 10ch, 9slst. 3slst at the base of the tower.
4-14) 12ch, 11slst. 3slst at the base of the tower.
Fasten off and hide the yarn tail.

So that the mini towers are firm, pass the mixture

of white glue and water all over them, spreading
well, and let it dry. Attach them with glue to the
tower body.

Let's go back to the last detail of the second floor.

Make two strips, following the instructions below:

1) 11ch, 1slst, 9sc.
2) 8ch, 1slst, 6sc.

Leave yarn tail to sew the two together. The

larger strip is sewn on the left side, and the
smaller one is sewn on the right side. Apply the
mixture to them as well, so that they set and stay
firm. Sew them.

Third floor

Here all the details are made with chains.

1) Make 27 chains. Involve the floor

horizontally with this strip, use the image to
the side to guide the positioning. Hide the
yarn tails inside the piece, and secure the
strip in place with glue.

2) Make 10 strips with 5 chains each. Apply

them vertically, going over the previous
strip, leaving a distance of approximately 2
rounds between each one. Hide the yarn
tails inside the piece, and secure the strips
with glue.

3) Make the last strip with 90 chains. Involve

the rest of the top with it, starting a round
above the previous details. Fix it with glue.
Hide the yarn tails inside the piece.

TOP
Here are two identical pieces. Make 13
chains. Start at the second stitch from the
hook:

1) 2slst, 1sc, 1hdc, 8dc [12]

Leave yarn tail to sew.

Before sewing, let's harden the pieces: apply

the mixture (or just white glue) along the
entire length of them. Model the two so that
they are curved in opposite directions from
each other (see the image on the side), and
wait for it to dry well.

With the help of pins, fix them to the edge of

the top, slightly angled diagonally, each on
one side. Make sure they line up with the
door (the door should be in the center, with
the pieces on the sides). Sew them.

EYE
With yellow yarn, make:
1) 6sc in the MR
2) 6inc [12]
3) (1sc, 1inc) x6 [18]
4) 2sc, (1inc, 1 3-sc inc, 1inc), 6sc, (1inc, 1 3-
sc inc, 1inc), 4sc [26]
Fasten off and leave long yarn tail to sew.

Take the yellow wool, and cut pieces of

approximately 6 cm. Apply them strand by
strand between round 3 and 4 of the eye, as
shown in the image to the side.

Once applied, use the grooming brush to

unravel all the wool. Cut slowly, shortening
little by little, vertically, so the look is more
disheveled.

Finally, paint the pupil with black paint, and

paint around it with red paint. You can
embroider the pupil if you prefer. Sew the eye
to the center of the top of the Tower.
