Notes
All pieces worked in a continuous spiral. Do not join to work in the rnd, just work sc in the next st. Place marker or use contrasting
color yarn to mark beg of rnd. Use hook 2.5 mm or size matching your yarn and obtaining gauge. When work around the wooden
ring, use smaller size hook, it will be easier to work.

____________________________________________________________
Working around the ring. Option 1
Work around the ring in a continuous spiral. The total number of sts depends on the size of your wooden ring and yarn. For my size ch10 using hook 2.5mm,
then work around the ring using hook 2mm.

Join chain with sl st around the ring. Then sc in each st around. The first rnd is the most difficult.Then start to work in a continuous spiral, sc in each st. if it’s
still uncomfortable to work, try to use smaller size hook. Pay attention to your tension, crochet around the ring tightly. If the fabric is moving loosely, rip it
out and start over again with one st less.

Cont to work until the half or a bit less than half of the ring is covered. End with sl st. The beginning and the end of work should be inside of the ring. Weave
in ends. Pull the end through the last rnd to tighten the fabric around the ring, and then pull it through the fabric inside the ring.

____________________________________________________
Working around the ring. Option 2
If option 1 is too complicated for you, you can crochet a rectangle, working sc. For my ring size, ch20 and work for 9 rows. When the rectangle is finished, fold it
over the ring and sew it, the fabric should be tight around the ring. The seam should be inside the ring. Weave in ends using tapestry needle

Assembling
Sew ears to the head at level of row 5 fromthe of the eyes, with 12-13 sts between the ears.

Sew the head to the ring. Place the head directly in the middle and press it a bit as it’s shown
on the pic. Sew the head to the ring, I recommend to sew it around twice. Pay attention to the
position of the head, it should be in the middle. If it shifted a bit, start over.
