This pattern is worked in rounds using mainly single crochets (the top also uses half double crochets). Do not join at the end of rounds except where the patterns says to. You’ll probably want to use a stitch marker to mark your rounds. Gauge is not important but remember to keep your stitches tight.

TOP

*leave a 16 inch long piece of yarn in the beginning to make the stem with later length*
With CB, Ch 2.
rnd 1: 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook. (6)
rnd 2: 2 sc in ea st (12)
rnd 3: [ch 4. 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook. 1 hdc in ea remaining ch. 2 sc in rnd 2] rep 5 times.

Invisible join and FO leaving a piece of yarn long enough to attach the top to the head.

Making the stem: Use your hook to pull the piece of yarn that you left at the beginning through the center hole. Tie a slip knot as close to the hole as possible. Ch 8. 1 sl st in ea ch starting in 2nd ch from hook. Pull the end of the yarn back through the center hole and FO.

EARS

With CA, ch 2.
rnd 1: 1 sc, 6 dc, 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook.

Try to push all stitches to one side so that it forms a half circle.

ASSEMBLY

Position the top piece on the head so that you have a pointy part above each eye. Use your yarn needle and the piece of yarn that you left at the end of the top piece to attach the top to the head. You’ll only need to make about 6 stitches to hold it down. Next, to attach the ears, use your yarn needle to stitch the flat side of the half circle to the head. Refer to the photo for placement if you need to.

For the nose, cut a circle out of pink felt that will fit between the eyes (I used a penny as a pattern for mine). Then cut a little triangle nose out of black felt. Use your fabric glue to glue them in place.
