Start with the Base:

Magic Circle: With Vanilla Cream, create a magic circle.

Round 1: Place 6 single crochets into the magic circle. Tighten the circle.
Round 2: Increase in each stitch around (2 single crochets per stitch) for a total of 12 stitches.
Mark the last stitch with a stitch marker.

Round 4: Single crochet in the next 2 stitches, then increase. Repeat around for 24 stitches.
Round 5: Single crochet in the next 3 stitches, then increase. Repeat around for 30 stitches.

Smooth Out Shape:

Round 6: Single crochet in the next 2 stitches, then increase. Continue with single crochet in the next 4 stitches, then increase until last 2 stitches. Single crochet in each of these last 2 stitches. Total is 36 stitches.
Round 7: Single crochet in the next 5 stitches, then increase. Repeat around for 42 stitches.

Form the Pierogi Shape:

Fold the piece in half and begin single crocheting the edges together to form a half-moon shape.

Edging & Joining:

Edge Rounds:

Stitch sequence for edge:

Single crochet, half double crochet in the same stitch.
Double crochet, half double crochet in the same stitch.
Single crochet, slip stitch.

Repeat the above sequence to form a shell pattern across the edges.

Create the Face:

Eyes: Place safety eyes between the third and fourth increase. Second eye goes in the fifth stitch to the left of the first eye.
Eye Whites: With white yarn, create a semicircle above each eye using a tapestry needle.
Mouth: With black crochet thread or embroidery floss, embroider a smiling mouth between the eyes.
Cheeks: With pink yarn, add small lines next to the eyes for cheeks.

Stuffing & Final Touches:

Stuff the pierogi firmly with fiberfill or yarn scraps through the remaining opening.
Complete Edging: Continue the edge sequence to close the pierogi shape.
Finish: Tie a secure knot and hide the yarn end inside the pierogi. Trim any excess.
