HEAD

Make one. Using colour (DUNE), make a magic circle.

Helpful hint: we are working in the round.

Round 1 – nose
Ch 1 (does not count as a st), sc 6 into mc, place st marker in 6^th sc and continue to work in the round (6 sc).

Helpful hint: move the stitch marker (or use a running marker) and place in the last stitch of each round; this will help keep your stitch count correct and help with round counting. Because we are working quite tightly in the round, I weave my starting tail in whilst working round 2.

Round 2
*Sc 2 into next st*, rep *.* 5 more times (12 sc).

Helpful hint: with my patterns, I usually always start with an increase in the 1^st stitch, so if your increase stitch falls in the 1^st stitch of the increase stitch from the last round, your stitch count should be correct.

Round 3

Sc into next 12 sts (12 sc).

Round 4

*Sc 2 into next st, sc into next st*, rep *.* 5 more times (18 sc).

Round 5

Sc into next 18 sts (18 sc).

Round 6

*Sc 2 into next st, sc into next 2 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (24 sc).

Round 7

*Sc 2 into next st, sc into next 3 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (30 sc).

Round 8

*Sc 2 into next st, sc into next 4 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (36 sc).

Round 9

*Sc 2 into next st, sc into next 5 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (42 sc).

Round 10
*Sc 2 into next st, sc into next 6 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (48 sc).

Round 11
*Sc 2 into next st, sc into next 7 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (54 sc).

Round 12

Sc into next 54 sts (54 sc).

Round 13 – colour change at end of round

Helpful hint: refer to “Helpful Hints” in the pattern Preamble on how to change colours.

Sc into next 54 sts, (colour change to MAHOGANY) by finishing off the last st with the new colour (54 sc). Cut (DUNES) leaving a 15 cm tail.

Helpful hint: you can work in the (DUNES) tail whilst doing the next round.

Round 14 – BLO

*Sc 2 into next st, sc into next 8 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (60 sc).

Round 15

*Sc 2 into next st, sc into next 9 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (66 sc).

Rounds 16 – 17

Sc into next 66 sts (66 sc).

Helpful hint: we are not going to insert the safety eyes directly into the head. We will add the safety eyes when we put the Ragdoll together in Part 6.

Round 18

*Sc 2 into next st, sc into next 10 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (72 sc).

Rounds 19 – 21

Sc into next 72 sts (72 sc).

Round 22

*Sc 2 into next st, sc into next 11 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (78 sc).

Rounds 23 – 24

Sc into next 78 sts (78 sc).

Round 25

*Inv sc2tog, sc into next 11 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (72 sc).

Round 26

*Inv sc2tog, sc into next 10 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (66 sc).

Round 27

*Inv sc2tog, sc into next 9 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (60 sc).

Round 28

*Inv sc2tog, sc into next 8 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (54 sc).

Round 29

*Inv sc2tog, sc into next 7 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (48 sc).

Round 30

*Inv sc2tog, sc into next 6 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (42 sc).

Round 31

*Inv sc2tog, sc into next 5 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (36 sc).

Round 32

*Inv sc2tog, sc into next 4 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (30 sc).

Helpful hint: you can stuff the head now, and then just add more stuffing in before you make the 2^nd last round, the head should be firm, be careful not to overstuff. I have not forgotten to add the safety eyes – we will add them when we attach the eye patches to the head in Part 6.

Round 33

*Inv sc2tog, sc into next 3 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (24 sc).

Round 34

*Inv sc2tog, sc into next 2 sts*, rep *.* 5 more times (18 sc).

Round 35

*Inv sc2tog, sc into next st*, rep *.* 5 more times (12 sc).

Round 36 – back of head

*Inv sc2tog*, rep *.* 5 more times (6 sc), cut yarn, use a sewing needle to sew end through FLO of each st, pull tight and weave in end.

Helpful hint: we will attach the head to the body in Part 6.
