Pattern

Head

In Skin Tone Yarn, Ch 2, sc 6 into second ch from hook

R1 – inc in each sc (12 sts)

R2 – *sc, inc* x6 (18 sts)

R12 – *sc 2, dec* x6 (18 sts)

Insert safety eyes between R7 and R8, about 7 stitches apart. NOTE: you will want the eyes on the opposite side of the head from where the rows start. This way the color changes are not on the front of the doll.

 Begin stuffing head to medium firmness. Beware not to overstuff because this will elongate the head rather than leaving it in the nice oval shape.

R13 – *sc, dec* x6 (12 sts)

R14 – *sc 2, dec* x6 (9 sts)
