• inc – complete two single crochets within the same stitch
• dec – combine two stitches into one with an invisible decrease
• BLO – crochet in the back loop only
• *sc x* – repeat the instructions between asterisks(*) the indicated number of times. If the pattern doesn’t tell you how many times to repeat, then repeat the sequence until you reach the end of the round.

General Instructions

Work all stitches in both loops unless the pattern instructs otherwise.

This pattern is worked in one continuous spiral. Do not join rounds unless the pattern indicates otherwise (in other words, do not slip stitch and chain to start a new round). Use a stitch marker to keep track of where one round ends and the next begins. I prefer to place my stitch marker in the last stitch of the round.

How to Indent the Eyes

Cut a strand of yarn approximately 18″ long. Tie a large, secure knot in one end and thread the other end through your yarn needle. Insert your needle through the back opening of the head and sew between the two spots where you’ll be placing your safety eyes (marked with strands of yarn). Pull your strand of yarn taut, which will create indents. Fasten off with a knot and hide your yarn tail inside the head.

How to Crochet the Tail Tuft

With dark orange yarn, create a slip knot on your hook. slst into the first stitch, chain 6, then slst into the same stitch. Repeat this process in the 2 remaining stitches across: slst into the next stitch, chain 6, then slst into the same stitch. Fasten off and hide the yarn tails inside the work with a yarn needle.
