“Call my name when you are in danger or scared, and I will show up to protect you,” he says. He holds out his hand, and they touch palms to seal the deal.

Let’s crochet together! Every week, I will upload a part of his pattern here. The first of this 3-part series began from last week.

You can tag me on my IG and/or FB to share your work-in-progress pictures. Should you encounter any issues, you can email me at myartpetite@gmail.com.

    “Cap it onto the outer ear.
    Pick up the stitch from the outer ear and work a sc in every alternate stitch of the inner ear.”
    Please enlighten me. Thank you.

      Hi Cheyserr,

      Thanks for reaching out to me ^_^

      With regards to your question on the ears, the st counts for both inner and outer ears are diff hence it’s not possible to match/crochet each stitch perfectly. The idea is just for the outer ear to “cap” the inner one. If it’s made in a way where the st counts are equal, then you probably won’t be able to see the red outer ears after stuffing it.

      What I did was to crochet them together every alternate stitch i.e. skip a stitch or so. You may have some leftover stitches after crocheting every alternate st. Just crochet what’s left so long as the stuffing doesn’t fall out 🙂
