Instructions

R1: AM with 4X (4)
R2: 4A (8)
R3: (X + A3) *4 (16)

A8: 6X + (A3 + 11X) *3 + (A3 + 5X) (56)
R9-21: 56X(13R)(56)
At this point we will introduce the safety eyes between R15-R16 with 10 points of separation. As a tip, I suggest that you use a lighter or candle and burn the tip of the eye. Once hot, use the tongs or something metal to flatten the surface. This will help us create double security and that our eye will never come off our amigurumi. .
We will embroider eyelashes, eyebrows, mustaches and mouth.
With the help of some pins we will mark between R5-R6 with 7 points of separation, that will be the distance in which we will bend our wire, we will use a pliers to do it, once folded we will insert it internally in this way we will have ours ready. antennas.
**We will continue with our weaving.

X Rd (Right Purl Low Crochet)
It is a point that makes it easier for us to create 90 degree angles as we knit. It performs a similar function as if we were using the BL (Back Loop). The difference is that if we use the X Rd it will give us more rigidity, the final finish will be neater and It allows us to give a more defined shape to the part of our amigurumi in which we use it.
What we do is introduce the hook backwards, that is, through the back of the stitch, we take it out and reinsert it this time in the next stitch, we take yarn over and make 1 single crochet. So on until the number of points for the round is complete.
Note: Be careful with the last point as you may miss it if you don’t pay attention. We will introduce the hook on the wrong side and we will introduce it again this time at the starting point of the round where we place our marker and close with a single crochet so we will have the total number of points in our round.
