Head and Body:
Crocheted from top of head to bottom of fins
With Color A:
1- Make 6 sc into a magic ring= 6
2- Increase in each st around= 12

Place eyes between rows 13 and 14, leaving 8 holes between them. Make sure you are placing
the eyes evenly over the 12 increases on row 15. If you want the sunken eye look do not place
the backs of the eyes until row 23.
21- (7 sc, dec) x 6= 48
22- (6 sc, dec) x 6= 42
23- (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. Follow the pictures for help. There is also a youtube video I have for
extra help on this process.
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.
