Change to Color A:
6-7. sc in each st around
8. (5 sc, inc) x 6= 42
9. Make 3 sc, leave the rest of the stitches unworked. Move stitch marker to the last stitch of
this row. This stitch will be the new beginning of each row from now.
10. 12 sc, (4 sc, inc) x 6= 48
11. 12 sc, (5 sc, inc) x 6= 54
12. 12 sc, (6 sc, inc) x 6= 60
13-19. sc in each st around
Place nose between the eyes, between rows 6 and 7.
Place eyes between rows 10 and 11, leaving 14 holes between them. 1st eye is placed one hole
before the 2nd increase. Count 14 holes after the first eye and place the 2nd eye. If you want
the sunken eye look, do not place the backs of the eyes on until row 24.
TIP! You may have to adjust the eye placement depending on yarn and hook size you use.
20. (8 sc, dec) x 6= 54
21. sc in each st around
22. (7 sc, dec) x 6= 48
23. (6 sc, dec) x 6= 42
24. (5 sc, dec) x 6= 36
Now for the eyes. Stuff the head well. Cut a long piece of yarn and remove the eyes. Place the
needle in the hole where the first eye was and thread the needle into a hole next to the eye
hole. Go back and forth between each eye hole repeating the process from the first eye. Pull
slightly on the yarn after going through each hole. Do this about 3 times on each side until you
reach the look you want. Follow the pictures for help. There is also a youtube video I have for
extra help on this process.

To place the backs of the eyes you will need to remove most of the stuffing to place the
washers on the eyes then re stuff it.
25. (4 sc, dec) x 6= 30

27. (2 sc, dec) x 6= 18
28. (sc, dec) x 6= 12

F/O and sew the hole closed

 Assembly
Face:
1. Take some brown yarn and thread the needle. Insert the hook from the bottom of the
Face and bring it out right under the nose. Bring it back under the face pulling tightly on
The yarn. Do this twice.
2. Weave in the ends of the yarn.

Sweet Oddity Art 7

Head and Body:
1. Pin the head onto the body for extra support. You may need to add more stuffing as
you sew. Make sure the bump in the body is facing the same way as the face.
2. sew the head onto the body.

Flippers:
1. Pin the flipper in a forward facing angle. There are no particular rows I place them on
as it depends on how you stuff, shape, etc. its just better to judge how you want them.
2. Sew the arm onto the body.

Sweet Oddity Art 8

Legs:
1. Embroider some toes with dark brown yarn. Take a long piece of yarn and thread the
needle. Mark 2 spots with pins on the foot. Insert the needle into the bottom of the foot
and come up through to the top where the pin is. Take the pin out and go back to the
bottom of the foot and pull tightly on the yarn as you thread. Do this process twice on
each toe.
2. Turn the body upside down with the nose facing away from you.
3. Pin the legs onto the bottom of the body.
There are no special rows for this, just depends on the look you would like. I don’t place
mine in between any special rows. I just judge based on how the individual doll looks.
4. Sew the legs onto the body.

Sweet Oddity Art 9

Ears:
1. Pin the ears onto the top of the head. I do not have certain rows I place these on.
Since these are handmade, I never am able to stuff the head the same exact way twice. I
just place the ears where they look best on the head above the eyes judged on each
individual doll.
2. Sew the ears onto the head.

Sweet Oddity Art 10

Tail:
1. Pin the tail onto the back of the body
2. Sew the tail onto the back of the body. You may need to add more stuffing as you
Sew.

Embellishments:
1. For the whiskers you are going to want to take about 7 of them if you decide to use
them. They are quite challenging to work with if you do. This video is how I attached
my whiskers.

2. Embroider some cheeks with pink yarn
