15. (6 sc, inc) x 6= 48
16. (7 sc, inc) x 6= 54
17-23. sc in each st around
Place eyes between rounds 15 and 16, leaving 16 holes between them. 1st eye is placed before
the 2nd increase. Count 16 holes after the first eye and place the 2nd eye. If you want the
sunken eye look, do not place the backs of the eyes on until row 27.
TIP! You may have to adjust the eye placement depending on yarn and hook size you use.
24. (7 sc, dec) x 6= 48
25. sc in each st around
26. (6 sc, dec) x 6= 42
27. (5 sc, dec) x 6= 36
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 thread 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.

 Assembly

Head and Body:

1. Thread the needle with a long strand of white yarn. Insert the needle into a hole into
the head. Bring the needle to a corner on the bottom of the eye. Bring the needle to top
of the eye wrapping the yarn around the side and insert into the head. You might need
to pull the yarn slightly. Repeat for the 2nd eye.
2. Cut a long strand of green yarn. Insert your threaded needle into the bottom corner
of the white of your eye. You are going to embroider an eyelid. You are repeating the
white of the eye process on top of the eye for the eyelid. Repeating this about 3 times.
3. Cut a long strand of blue yarn. Insert the needle into a hole on the body. Bring the
yarn to a round on the back of the body. Embroider 4 stripes on the back of the body.
4. Pin the body to the head. Make sure your slope on the back of the body is facing the
back of the body.
5. Sew the head to the body. You might need to add more stuffing as you sew.

the top of the head. Bring the needle up to a hole in between rounds 16 and 17. Bring
the needle down the back of the head in between rounds 26 and 27. Make a stripe.
Repeat for another stripe.

Legs:
1. Pin the feet claws between rounds 7 and 8 of the foot. Sew them onto the foot.

Sweet Oddity Art 12

Arms:
1. Pin the front claws on the front of the arms approximately between rounds 4 and 5.
2. Sew the claws onto the arms.
3. Pin the arms onto the side of the body. I do not have particular arm placements for
them. I pin them underneath the neck and try to judge where they look best.

Tail:
1. Pin the tail onto the back of the body approximately between rounds 8 and 12.
2. Sew the tail onto the back of the body. You may need to add more stuffing as you
sew.

 Helpful Tips:
Exact Colors and Brand of Yarn Used:
1. Green: Red Heart Frosty Green
2. Yellow: Red Heart Cornmeal
3. Brown: Red Heart Mushroom
4. Blue: I love this yarn Antique Teal

You can use different eye and nose 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 raptor
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
raptor turns out. I prefer Polyfil stuffing but you can use other types.

Raptor eyes can be found at suncatchercrafteyes.com or at glasseyesonline.com
