SUPPLIES: Sport weight or fingering yarn size 2 steel hook a very small amount of stuffing and something to stuff with. The back end of a pencil works fine for most of the parts, the smaller parts need a smaller stuffing stick like a chop stick embroidery thread or split yarn for the nose and eyes Blunt end needle for sewing. I think they are called embroidery needles. Size 13 (I thought this would be too big but it worked great). The smaller one worked even better. Don't know the official size but it is 6cm long. Abbreviations: st = stitch sc = single crochet 2tog = crochet 2 stitches together hdc = half double crochet sl st = slip stitch f/o = finish off Add a maker at the end of row 2 and move that marker each time you finish a row. Each row has a sequence. Example: 1sc then 2sc in next st means repeat that sequence 1sc then 2sc in next st followed by 1sc then 2sc in next st over and over to the end of that row. When you land on the marker you should be putting in 2sc. The number inside the parentheses ( ~ ) is the number of stitches you should have at the end of that particular row. IF you would prefer to put the eyes in and sew the ears on before stuffing the head then do this step at the end of row 9 or 10. I always find it easier after the head is stuffed and closed. There's no right or wrong way, it's just what you find easiest for you. I explain how I do the eyes in the assembly page, see
