 Supplies
• Worsted weight yarn - I used Bernat Super Value
1 skein white
Small amount each of black, red, and pumpkin

• Size I, F, E & B Hooks

• Sewing thread
White & black

• Size 5 thread
Small amount of red

• Tapestry & sewing needle

• Polyfill

Notes
Gauge is not important for this project. For best results, crochet
the head as tightly as possible.

The head, eyes & nose are worked in continuous rounds. Do not
join at the end of the rounds! I recommend using a stitch
marker, and moving it up as you go.
