tail, these will be crocheted on).

Stitches you will use when

attaching to the body.

hook: inc, 3sc, inc. Now working on the other side of
the chain: inc, 3sc, inc (14)

In R3, mark the BLs of the 4scincs to make it easier
to do R4.

In R4, you will be crocheting in the marked stitches
from R3 instead of the 4scinc to create the nostrils.

Head and Body
In R8, the 3rd and 4th inc stitches should be
centered between the nostrils, if they aren’t, add or
subtract sc stitches until you get there.
R8 - 4sc, incx6, 14sc (30)
R9 - 4sc, chain 5, skip 5, 2sc, chain 5, skip 5, 14sc (30)
R10 - 4sc, 5sc down chain, 2sc, 5sc down chain, 14sc The gap:
(30) The gap is the space
R11 - sc around (30) between R8 and R9 that
looks similar to a stitch.
Stop now and make the eye bumps by either cutting
off the yarn, and reattaching, or using the other end
of the yarn skein.
-showing what the “gaps” are
-chain/sc stitches
-the whole chain and skip area

Eye bumps
R1 - With a slip knot on your hook, sc in the right gap
(left gap if you are left handed) from between R8 and
R9, 5sc down the skipped stitches from R8, sc in the
other gap, 5sc down the backside of the chain from R9
(12)
R2 - decx6 (6)
FO and sew the hole shut using the front loops of R2.
Repeat for the second eye bump.
Insert eyes between R1 and R2 of the eye bump facing
forward (1 eye per bump).

In R18 and R19, you will be attaching 2 of the feet.
In the stitches that are UNDERLINED, you will be
crocheting through both sides of the feet and the
body. The toes should be up against the body while
crocheting on. If needed, adjust a few stitches to
make them centered with the head. Make sure to
tie a knot with your working yarn and the yarn tail
of the feet to prevent unwinding.

Spine
For the spine, we will be surface crocheting
starting from the tip of the tail to the base of
the head.
Start with a slip knot on your hook. I recomend
adding pins or sewing needles up the back to
make sure you go in a straight line up the back.
You will be starting at the tip of the tail (R33).
slst, hdcinc, slst,
(slst, dcinc, slst)-repeat *()* all the way to the
base of the head. If there are any remaining
stitches, make extra slsts to reach the base of
the head. I repeated 5 times and had to make 1
extra slst.
FO and hide yarn tails.

Done!
