BLO Insert your hook underneath the back loop only and make the st.
FLO Insert your hook underneath the front loop only and make the st.
TLO Insert your hook underneath the third loop of the st.
{ ... } Make all the sts inside curly brackets in the same st.
sk N When it is written sk followed by a number, it means that you will have to skip that
number of stitches of the previous round, you will not crochet that N number of stitches.
FLO* [...] When you see that a round or row begins with FLO (just FLO), it means that you will
crochet the whole round in front loops only, but, when you see FLO * [...], it means that
you will crochet only in front loops the stitches placed inside the square brackets, and
make the rest of the stitches of that round on both loops.
Now get your yarn and hook and let's get started!

Arm joining
Note
When you first insert your hook into the
arm, make sure the thumb is pointing
forward. This rule is for both arms, so you
can change the joining st if necessary.

Draw the outline of the safety eyes on a fabric
that does not fray when cutting (it could be
interlining or thin felt). Then, starting from that
circle, draw the shape you want the eyes to look
like (F10). Cut two pieces of it and make a hole in
the center (F11), then insert them into the fabric
and glue them (F12). Insert the eyes in the head
between rounds 12 and 13 counted from bottom
