    Before you get started be sure to read my Best Amigurumi Tips and Tricks! 

    Arms (make 2)
    Round 1: In a magic ring, crochet 6 SC.
    Round 2: SC INC in each around. (12)
    Rounds 3-25 SC in each around. (12)
    Fasten off and leave a long tail to sew onto body between rows 28 and 29.

    Head 
    (This will be the front of the nose. Begin with your choice of accent color. I used white.)
    Chain 5. In the second chain from the hook SC. SC in the next 2. Place 3 SC in the last stitch on the row. On the other side of the chain, Sc in the next 2. Then 2 SC in the end stitch (the first stitch you SC on the chain). Place stitch marker (10)
    HINT: It should look like this (every comma represents a stitch) 
    SC, SC, SC, 3 SC, SC, SC, 2 SC. 
    There will be 3 SC on the chain, with 3 SC on the end, 3 SC on the opposite side of the chain, and 3 SC total (first SC and then the 2 SC as you come back around) on the other end. 
    From here on we will be working in the round.

    Round 2: SC in first, SC INC in next. Repeat around. (15)
    Round 3: SC in first 2, SC INC in next. Repeat around. (20)
    Round 4: SC in first 3, SC INC in next. Repeat around. (25)
    Round 5: SC in first 4, SC INC in next. Repeat around. (30)
    Round 6: SC in first 5, SC INC in next. Repeat around. (35)
    Round 7: SC in first 6, SC INC in next. Repeat around. (40)
    Rounds 8-11: SC in each around. (40)
    Switch to body color. 
    Rounds 12-20: SC in each around. (40) (PLACE EYES BETWEEN ROWS 13 AND 14)
    Round 21: SC in the first 7, INV DEC in the next. Repeat around. (35)
    Round 22: SC in the first 6, INV DEC in the next. Repeat around. (30)
    Round 23: SC in the first 5, INV DEC in the next. Repeat around. (25)
    Round 24:  SC in the first 4, INV DEC in the next. Repeat around. (20)
    Round 25: SC in the first 3, INV DEC in the next. Repeat around. (15)
    Round 26: SC in the first 2, INV DEC in the next. Repeat around. (10)
    Using a needle, INV DEC one more time. (make the same motions as you would with a hook, but pull through instead of pulling up a loop) Sew up the remaining hole. Fasten off.

    Ears (make two)
    Round 1: In a magic circle, 6 SC.

    Round 2: SC INC in each around. (12)
    Round 3: SC in first, SC INC in next. Repeat around. (18)
    Rounds 4-7: SC in each around. (18)
    Round 8: SC in first, INV DEC in next. Repeat around. (12)
    Round 9: SC in each around.
    Fasten off, leaving a tail to sew on the head.

    Horns (make two)
    Round 1: In a magic circle, 6 SC.

    Round 2: SC INC in each around. (12)

    Rounds 3-4: SC in each around. (12)
    Round 5: INV DEC around. (6)
    Round 6: SC in each around. (6)
    Fasten off, leaving a tail to sew on the head.

    Spots
    Round 1: In a magic circle, 6 SC.

    Round 2: SC INC in each around. (12)
    Round 3: SC in each around. 
    To sew them on I LOVE to use THESE NEEDLES. The rounded tip makes a big difference!
