Notes: • You will start with the front/face of the pillow. The pockets & numbers, eyes, nose & mouth will be added next. • You will then work on the back & remaining pieces. This will give the numbers time to dry before assembling the pillow. • (sc, hdc) means work into the same stitch. • *sc, hdc* means work a sc in one st, hdc in next st. • For the numbers I used a 1” numbers stencil • Surface crochet: Hold yarn on wrong side of piece. Insert your hook through your work from front to back, grab yarn and pull up a loop. Insert hook into next space/stitch, pull up a loop, draw through loop on hook.
