Round 20-24 (5 rounds): SC in each stitch around (24)

If you’re using safety eyes, place them between Rounds 21 and 22, four stitches apart. Once you are satisfied with the placement of the eyes, remove the eyes and embroider eyelashes. Reinsert the eyes and put the washer firmly on the back.

Ensure that you have stuffed the body well; especially the neck to ensure that there is no neck wobble. I use a metal chopstick to get the stuffing in but you can use a pencil tip, the back of your crochet hook, or the point of a scissor to do so– anything small enough to really push the stuffing in to ensure that the neck is firm! Continue stuffing the head.

Round 25: (2 SC, INV DEC) six times (18)

Round 26: (SC, INV DEC) six times (12)

Ensure that you have stuffed the head well. Use your fingers to use the stuffing to shape the head. Make sure the bottom of the head is stuffed well, giving it a rounded shape.
