R11 – *sc 2, dec* x6 (18 sts)

Insert safety eyes between R10 and R11, 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.

R12 – *sc, dec* x6 (12 sts)

R13 – *sc 2, dec* x3 (9 sts)

Do not tie off. Continue to Body.
