  • Rnd 16:  (sc in next 2 st, dec) repeat 6 times [18]
  • Rnd 17:  (sc in next st, dec) repeat 6 times [12]
  • Fasten off

Stuff the head with fiber fill. In my example, the safety eyes are placed between Rnds 10 and 11, with an interspace of 6 stitches.

EAR:

use main color yarn

  • Rnd 1:  make 4sc into magic ring
  • Rnd 2:  (sc in next st, inc in next st) repeat twice [6]
  • Rnd 3:  (sc in next st, inc in next st) repeat 3 times [9]
  • Rnd 4:  (sc in next 2 st, inc in next st) repeat 3 times [12]
  • Rnd 5:  (sc in next 3 st, inc in next st) repeat 3 times [15]
  • Fasten off and leave a tail of about 10 inches long.  Flatten the ear and sew the opening shut with the yarn end.  The remainder of the yarn tail should be used to sew the ear onto the head.

SNOUT:

use white yarn

  • Rnd 1:  make 6sc into magic ring
  • Rnd 2:  inc in each st [12]
  • Fasten off with an invisible finish and leave a tail for sewing onto head. 

To make the nose, use your yarn needle and embroidery floss and sew a “V” onto the snout as pictured.  In my example, I repeated these stitches 3 times each.  Tie the ends behind the snout.

Take your sewing needle and black thread and sew a single line as pictured.  Tie a neat knot at the back of the snout.

Sew the snout onto the head with the top edge of the nose halfway between the eyes.

WHISKERS:

To sew the whiskers, thread your sewing needle with a piece of black thread about 7 inches long and start by inserting your thread into the opening that is four stitches away from the eye on one side.   Leave about half of the thread sticking out. You will have to flip the head inside out a little bit next.  Sew the the thread into any nearby stitch to attach/anchor the thread so that it can’t be pulled out.  Make sure your stitch can’t be seen from the outside.  Once done, insert the needle out of the opening as indicated in the photo.  You should now have two whiskers sticking out of the face that is securely anchored from the inside.  Trim the whiskers to your desired length.  Repeat for the other side.
