Head (1 pc.)
– use flesh-colored yarn!
1. Row: 6 SC into magic ring.
2. Row: inc * (6x) {12 SC}
3. Row: 1SC, inc (6x) {18 SC}
4. Row: 2 SC, inc (6x) {24 SC}
5. Row: 3 SC, inc (6x) {30 SC}
6. Row: 4 SC, inc (6x) {36 SC)
7. Row: 5 SC, inc (6x) {42 SC}
8. Row: 6 SC, inc (6x) {48 SC}

10-18. Row: 54 SC {54 SC}
19. Row: 7 SC, dec (6x) {48 SC}
20. Row: 6 SC, dec (6x) {42 SC}
21. Row: 5 SC, dec (6x) {36 SC}
22. Row: 4 SC, dec (6x) {30 SC}
Cut the yarn!
Embroider eyes after the figure is fully assembled. Over the nose. Place them on 1 row
close to each other.
If you do not like the embroidery, you can replace it with 6 mm protective eyes.
(Protective eyes are located between rows 11-12, with an interval of about 5 columns.).
When embroidering eyes, always put them on your head after sewing on your nose relative to
him, but when using safe eyes, we will sew the nose after fixing the eyes.
Nose + ears (flesh color):
They are made with the same number of loops, so we make 3 pieces!
1. Row: 5 SC into magic ring
2. Row: İNC * (5x) {10 SC}
3. Row: (1 SC, İNC) (5 x) {15 SC}
4. Row: 15 SC {15 SC}
5. Row: (1 SC, DEC) * (5x) {10 SC}
We cut the yarn, and after the body and head are sewn, it’s worth sewing on the ears before
put on a hat. Sew the ears below the center line of the head so that they do not interfere with the exact
fitting cap.
After sewing on the nose, you can tint it as you wish (using a blush,
possibly using textile dye).


Beard:
To prepare a beard when the body and head are sewn, the ears are sewn and the hat is sewn to the head.
We start behind the left ear, bypassing it with a thread for eyelashes in front.
Take the yarn and start pulling the thread over the head behind the left ear (fasten), lower yourself to 6-7
rows down on the head and fasten the stitches. Walking under the nose, it runs along a horizontal line, then
symmetrically to the starting line.
To enrich the beard, we perform this stage several times.
BODY: (1 pc.)
Start with a trouser-colored yarn.
