Head Piece Detail
Using Dark Blue (Royal Blue) yarn.
Row 1: | Ch 19, 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook, 17 sc. | (18 stitches) |
Tie off, leaving a long tail for sewing along the front of the head piece (See Picture). Use the chenille stick(pipe cleaner) to help support the head piece, insert it into the tallest part of the completed head piece and anchor it into the head. Sew the completed head piece to the top of the head; so that the head detailing is above the face side and is above the magic circle.
Tail

Round 2: | 6 scinc | (12 stitches) |
Round 3: | *1 scinc, 1 sc* repeat * to * 5 more times. | (18 stitches) |
If using yarn weight thicker than DK(or if you have loose tension) I suggest only decreasing Part 1 & 2 to 18 stitches. This will help the tail to fully wrap.

If using yarn weight thicker than DK(or if you have loose tension) I suggest only decreasing Part 1 & 2 to 18 stitches. This will help the tail to fully wrap. If you choose to do this, skip Round 4, and do Rounds 5-8 with only 18 stitches.
Round 4: | *1 sc, 1 scinc, 1 sc* repeat * to * 5 more times. | (24 stitches) |
Round 5: | Ch 1, 24 sc blo, join. | (24 stitches) |
