To profile the head, prepare two pieces of pistachio green yarn, around 20cm each.
Using a yarn needle, pull the yarn from the bottom of the head (where you are
going to attach the body to the head, between RND 16 and 17) to the front of the
face, between RND 10 and 11, 2 st apart (looking at RND 10 or 2 x 2sc apart
looking at RND 11). Place the needle one st away (temporally) and then pull it
down, one stitch apart from where you started. Do the same on to the other side (see
pictures on page 5).

Magic Circle RND 11
Pull the strings at the bottom of the head. When the head has a required shape tie a
knot, then hide the loose ends inside. Don’t worry that the bottom of the head is
now out of shape, the body will hide that.
Using Paintbox Yarn in black embroider two little eyes, 6st apart (3 x 2sc),
RND 11.

Assembly
When sewing parts together make sure you sew through every stitch on the part
that you are attaching.
Start with sewing the little spikes onto the head.
Magic circle
Attach the body to the head, making sure you hide the misshaped part of the head.
Copyright Olive’s Toy Box 201 9 P a g e 10 | 14
Attach the arms on both sides of the body, around 7 RNDS down from the top.
Sew on the big spikes at the back.

Cuddly Comforter – how to start crocheting the body
For illustration purposes: to show the process better and make it more visible on
pictures I used cotton yarn in two colours. The dark green represents finished legs,
including the last row crocheted in Flutterby yarn.
1. Complete RND 12 on the second leg you made (leg A), then chain 6
2. Single crochet into what would be the first stitch of RND 13 on the
other leg (leg B)
3. Single crochet in every stitch around the leg B until you get to the chain
Copyright Olive’s Toy Box 201 9 P a g e 13 | 14
4. Front loop single crochet into every stitch of the chain
5. Single crochet into every stitch of leg A until you get to the chain
6. Front loop single crochet into every stitch of the chain
After completing those steps start crocheting RND 1 of the body
