*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.
Change to Color B:
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.

Pull a little tightly to create a highlight for the eye. Repeat for the 2nd eye.

back of the head. Bring the needle up and go down the back of the body to
approximately between rounds 3 and 4 of the body to make lines.

back up the body to the head.

 Helpful Tips:
Exact Colors Used:
1. Brown: Premier Parfait Teddy Bear
2. Cream: Premier Parfait Mushroom
3. Dark Brown: Premier Parfait Espresso

You can use different eye sizes. You might have to adjust the placements if you change the
sizes.

You can use different hook sizes and weights of yarn. It will just change the size of your
chipmunk and you might need to adjust eye and nose placement.

How you stuff matters! The type of stuffing you use, how you stuff, all this matters on how your
chipmunk turns out. I prefer Polyfil stuffing but you can use other types.
