Starting with green yarn

Create a Slip Knot and CH 4

Round 1 – 2 SC into the 2nd CH from the hook, 1 SC into the next chain, 4 SC into the last stitch and now turn work so you are working into the stitches underneath the chain to make an oval shape, 1 SC into the next chain, 2 SC into the last stitch (10ST)

Round 2 – Round 4 (3 rounds in total) – SC into every stitch around (10ST) 

At this point I take the tail of yarn from the start, weave it in and trim

Round 5 – 2 SC into the first stitch, 1 SC into the next 4 stitches, repeat around (12ST)

Round 6 – 2 SC into the first stitch, 1 SC into the next stitch, repeat around (18ST)

Round 7 – 9 (3 rounds in total) – SC into every stitch around (18ST)

At this point I embroider the eyes using black yarn and white (for the catch lights in the eyes). The eyes between row 5 & 6, approx. 3 stitches a part. I use double yarn for embroidering features.

Round 10 – SC DEC, SC in the next stitch, repeat around. Crochet around the ears as you go (12ST)

Now fill the Head with Hobby Fill.
