Decrease further and gather. I inserted the safety eyes between rows 45 and 46. Adjust the eyes and make the necessary indentations to your liking.

Ears (4 pieces)

For the first two pieces:

  1. Row 1: 6 sc in KA (6)
  2. Row 2: 6 inc (12)
  3. Row 3: (1 sc, inc) x 6 (18)
  4. Row 4: (2 sc, inc) x 6 (24)
  5. Row 5: (3 sc, inc) x 6 (30)
  6. Row 6: (4 sc, inc) x 6 (36)
  7. Row 7: (5 sc, inc) x 6 (42)
  8. Row 8: (6 sc, inc) x 6 (48)
  9. Row 9: (7 sc, inc) x 6 (54)

For the other two pieces, repeat the same process. However, after the 9th row, do not cut the yarn. Take the first part and fold it with the third part, making sure the inside is facing inward. Crochet them together for 2 rows with 54 sc.

Assembly

  • Sew the ears at approximately the level of the eyes, or wherever you prefer.
  • Attach the trunk and adjust it to your liking.
  • Position the arms, legs, and other body parts according to your design.
