Fold the brown circle into an L shape and sew it to the edge of the gray piece. The stitch count is the same, so sewing should be failry easy. When the pieces are almost sewn shut, stuff the pod with fiber fill and finish sewing.

HEAD:

Using Green yarn, don’t chain between rounds:

• Round 1: MC, 4sc (4) set your marker
• Round 2: 4 sc inc (8)
• Round 3: (1sc, 1 sc inc) x4 (12)
• Round 4: 12 sc, sl st into the next stitch, yarn off (12)

Attach the safety eyes between rounds 3 and 4 with one stitch between them. Sew the head to the brown base of the sphere using green yarn.

EARS:

Using Green yarn: Chain 4, skip the first stitch and sl st into the second one. Sc into the next stitch and sl st in the next. Ch 2, now you will be working on the UNDERSIDE of the chain, skip the two chains you just made and sl st into the stitch you did the last sl st. Sc into the next stitch and sl st in the next. Make a final sl st if you deem necessary. Fasten off and leave a 6 inch tail of yarn for sewing.

SCARF:

Working with Beige yarn:
Ch 15, sl st to first chain to form a loop. Ch 1, sc 15 all around, sl st at end of round, fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing.

FINAL DETAILS

Fix the scarf around the head leaving the eyes exposed and sew it with beige yarn.
After the scarf is done sew the ears to the sides of the head.
Add two small “blushes” to the corners of the eyes with pink yarn
and hide all the yarn ends onside the pod before cutting the excess off.
To make it an ornament just cut an 8 to 10 piece or gray yarn and thread it through the top stitches of the pod.

And voilá! Your little ornament is done!
