  • All stitches are worked in both loops unless stated otherwise in the pattern

Crochet Seal Head and Body

1. Make 6 sc into a magic ring= 62. Increase in each st around= 12 3. (sc, inc) x 6= 18
4-6. sc in each st around

Place eyes between rounds 9 and 10, leaving 10 holes between them.

Place the 1st eye after the 2nd increase. Count 10 holes after that and place the 2nd eye.

If you want the sunken eye look, do not place the backs of the eyes on until round 34.

Place the nose between rounds 2 and 3, in between the eyes.

13- 18. sc in each st around
19. 13 sc, (dec, 2 sc) x 6, 11 sc= 42
20. 13 sc, (dec, sc) x 6, 11 sc= 36
21. 13 sc, dec x 6, 11 sc= 30

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.

      The instructions say “Place the nose between rounds 2 and 3, in between the eyes.” It looks like it’s a safety nose. This pattern is by Carolyne from Sweet Oddity Art and was guest posted here on the ACC blog.
