The Crochet Pattern

Round 1: Magic Ring and Initial Stitches

Create a magic ring.
Work 6 single crochet (sc) stitches into the ring.
Pull the tail tightly to close the ring.

Round 2: Closing the Ring

Join with a slip stitch (sl st) into the first sc to close the round.

Round 3: First Increase Round

Chain 1 (does not count as stitch).
Work 2 sc in each stitch around for a total of 12 stitches.
Join with sl st.

Round 4: Increase Sequence

Chain 1.
Work 1 sc in the next stitch, then 2 sc in the next stitch (increase).
Repeat this sequence 6 times around to total 18 stitches.
Join with sl st.

Rounds 5-8: Straight Rows

Chain 1 at the beginning of each round.
Work 1 sc in each stitch for 4 rounds, maintaining 18 stitches per round.
Join with slip stitch after each round to maintain neat edges.

Round 9: Decrease Sequence

Chain 1.
Work 1 sc, then 1 decrease (combine two stitches by crocheting them together working into the front loops only).
Repeat this sequence around, reducing stitch count to 12 stitches.
Join with sl st.

Stuffing the Head

Insert fiberfill stuffing firmly into the head for shape retention before closing.

Round 10: Final Decreases to Close

Work 6 decreases evenly spaced around to reduce the stitch count to 6 stitches.
Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail.

Closing the Head

Using the yarn tail and hook or needle, weave through the front loops only of the remaining 6 stitches.
Pull tail tightly to close the opening securely.
Hide the yarn tail completely inside the head by weaving in.

Ear Construction (Make 2)

Attach yarn to the upper part of the head, skipping one row from center for balanced placement.
Chain 1.
Work 2 half-double crochet (hdc) stitches into the same stitch.
Chain 1.
Complete the ear by slip stitching into the same stitch to finish the small ear cup shape.
Repeat for the second ear on the opposite side parallel to the first.

Facial Details

Nose:
- Option 1: Glue a very small felt piece shaped like a triangle or circle onto the lower center of the face.
- Option 2: Crochet a small nose by creating a magic ring and working 8 half-double crochets (hdc) inside to form a tiny circle.
- Embroider a small 'T' shape nose and mouth on or around the nose with black or dark brown thread.
Eyes:
- Using black embroidery thread, stitch two small, centered eyes horizontally and symmetrically above the nose position. Simple straight stitch or satin stitch can be used to create eyes.

Assembly

Attach a jump ring to the top center of the head securely.
Connect the jump ring to your chosen earring hook using pliers, ensuring a tight fit.
Inspect and adjust any loose ends or stuffing.
