*Some notes and tips before you get started *
- The chain 1 at the beginning of each row is for height; It does not
count as a stitch
- Changing the placement of the increases in every other row helps
keep the shape rounded. On the rows where there is an even number
of single crochets, we will be placing the increase in the middle (ex:
SC, INC, SC…. SC x2, INC, SC x2). To help keep count, I count the
total number of SCs around the increase. For example, instead of
saying “one, two, increase, one, two” and then repeating, I say “one,
two, increase, three, four” and then repeat. This should help avoid
losing your place when counting!
Pupil
R1: 6 SC in MC, slst to beginning st [6]
**If you want a bigger pupil and are only using 1-2 colors for the iris, continue
using pupil color for the next row. If you want a smaller pupil and/or are using 3
colors in the iris, change colors here by completing the slst from R1 with the new
color. Crochet over the tail of your new color during color changes**
