✅ The amigurumi measures approximately 5″ tall (10 cm), including the horns.
Instructions
Pieces are worked in a continuous spiral starting with a magic ring unless otherwise specified. Mark the first stitch of each round with a removable stitch marker.
Make sure the stitches are tight enough to prevent filling from showing and adjust the hook size if necessary.
The nostrils are made with an embroidery stitch called bullion stitch. If you prefer, you can also embroider them.

Assembly
Sew the muzzle to the head above rows 10 and 16. Stuff before closing completely.
Stuff the horns and sew them to the top of the head 2 turns from the center.
Sew the ears on each side of the head, in line with the eyes and 2 turns from the horns.
Using folded black embroidery floss, sew eyebrows above the eyes if desired.
Thread a bell onto a cord or suede ribbon, wrap it around the body just below the snout, and secure. The cord used for the amigurumi shown was too thick to tie so a small amount of glue was used to join it together forming a collar at the back.
