Assembling the Head

  1. Stuffing:
    • Start stuffing the head lightly, especially between the safety eyes placed between Rounds 16 and 15.
    • Continue to add stuffing as required, ensuring it’s well-distributed.
  2. Closing the Top:
    • Use the tail to whip stitch in the front loops of the remaining stitches to close the opening.
    • Weave the tail through the head for security and trim any excess.

Adding Bolts

  1. Surface Crochet:
    • With light gray yarn, create a slip knot and crochet a surface stitch near the eyes, chaining 3.
    • Surface crochet in the same gap: Slip stitch to secure and fasten off, leaving two tails.
  2. Securing Bolts:
    1. Knot the two tails behind the bolt and weave the tails through the head to secure.
    2. Repeat the process on the opposite side.

Facial Features

  1. Embroidery:
    • Embroider the mouth using black worsted yarn.
    • Add stitches on the face and cap as desired with perpendicular lines to resemble stitches.

Final Steps

  1. Finishing Touches:
