Head
Crocheted from top of head to bottom of tail
With Color A:
Ch 5
1. inc in 2nd ch from hook, 2 sc, inc3 in last chain, working on the opposite side of the chain: 3 sc, inc= 12
2. (sc, inc) x 6= 18
3. (2 sc, inc) x 6= 24
4. (3 sc, inc) x 6= 30
5. (4 sc, bob) x 2, 20 sc= 30
6. sc in each st around
Stuff the head and body as you work
7. (dec, 13 sc) x 2= 28
8. (dec, 12 sc) x 2= 26
9. (dec, 11 sc) x 2= 24
10-11. sc in each st around
12. (inc, 11 sc) x 2= 26
13-14. sc in each st around
15. (inc, 12 sc) x 2= 28
16-17. sc in each st around
18. (inc, 13 sc) x 2= 30
19. sc in each st around
20. (4 sc, inc) x 6= 36
21. (5 sc, inc) x 6= 42
22. (6 sc, inc) x 6= 48
Place eyes between rounds 19 and 20, leaving 9 holes between them. 1st eye is placed before the 2nd increase. Count 9 holes after the first eye and place the 2nd eye. (Make sure you line the eyes up with the nostrils on round 5) If you want the sunken eye look, do not place the backs of the eyes on until round 33.
TIP! You may have to adjust the eye placement depending on yarn and hook size you use.
23-26. sc in each st around
27. (6 sc, dec) x 6= 42
28-29. sc in each st around
30. (5 sc, dec) x 6= 36
Now for the eyes. Stuff the head well. Cut a long piece of yarn and remove the eyes. Place the needle in the hole where the first eye was and thread the needle into a hole next to the eye hole. Go back and forth between each eye hole repeating the process from the first eye. Pull slightly on the yarn after going through each hole. Do this about 3 times on each side until you reach the look you want. To place the backs of the eyes you will need to remove most of the stuffing to place the washers on the eyes then re stuff it.

Assembly
Belly
1. Turn the body upside down and pin the belly onto it.
2. Sew the belly onto the body.
Legs
1. Pin the legs onto the side of the body above the belly.
2. Sew the legs onto the body
Spikes
1. You can do the spikes one of many ways but here are two different ways.
You can surface stitch the spikes. Mark two lines with pins going from the tip of the tail to in between rounds 30 and 31.
Attach the yarn with a sl st starting at the tip of the tail and work 3 hdc into a stitch. Sl st in next 3 stitches. Repeat down the back.
Or….
You can make a chain. Lay it against the back of the body to know exactly how many chains you will need. Work 3 hdc in 2nd ch from hook, sl st in next 3 chains. Repeat down the chain. Sew the chain onto the body.
