Head:
Crocheted from top of head to bottom
With Color A:
Ch 6
1. inc in 2nd ch from hook, 3 sc, inc3 in last chain, working on opposite side of chain: 4 sc= 12
2. inc x 2, 3 sc, inc x 3, 3 sc, inc= 18
3. (sc, inc) x 2, 3 sc, (sc, inc) x 3, 4 sc, inc= 24
4. (2 sc, inc) x 2, 3 sc, (2 sc, inc) x 3, 5 sc, inc= 30
5. sc in each st around
6. (4 sc, inc) x 6= 36
7-9. sc in each st around
*In round 10, mark the 3rd inc of each set of increases, this is for eye placement*
10. 3 sc, inc x 6, 6 sc, inc x 6, 15 sc= 48
Place eyes between rounds 8 and 9, leaving 10 holes between them. Place them above the stitch markers. Look to pictures on pg. 4 for reference. If you want the sunken eye look, do not place the backs of the eyes on until round 15.
11-12. sc in each st around
13. 6 sc, dec x 3, 12 sc, dec x 3, 18 sc= 42
14. (sc, dec) x 14= 28
15. (5 sc, dec) x 4= 24


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 insert 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.
