Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for the head.

Mark Rd 9 with a stitch marker - this is where you'll place the eyes later in the pattern.

R12: (inc, sc in next 5 sts) 6 times {42 sts}

R13: (dec, sc in next 5 sts) 6 times {36 sts}

R16: sc in next 30 sts {30 sts}

Place 12mm eyes between R9 and R10, leaving 5 stitches between the eyes.

Sew the muzzle on between R8 and R12. The nose should be in line with the eyes.

Using a yarn needle, go up through a stitch of the head and muzzle.

And then go down through a stitch of the muzzle and the head.

Secure the eyes and begin to stuff the head. Continue as you crochet.

R17: (dec, sc in next 3 sts) 6 times {24 sts}

R18: (dec, sc in next 2 sts) 6 times {18 sts}

R19: (dec, sc in next st) 6 times {12 sts}

Fasten off and leave a long piece of yarn to sew the head shut. Weave the rest of the yarn into the head. Set aside until assembly.
