How to make a 3-dc-bobble stitch:
• Yarn over the hook before placing the hook into the stitch.
• Yarn over again and draw the yarn through the stitch. You have 3 loops on the hook.
• Yarn over the hook again and pull it through the first two loops. You now have one half-closed double
crochet stitch, and two loops remain on the hook
• In the same stitch, repeat the preceding steps 2 times more. You will have 3 halfclosed double crochet
stitches into one stitch.
• yarn over and draw through all 4 loops on the hook at once
Cut the yarn, leave a tail for sewing. Don’t stuff the horns.
Sew the horns to head over the rounds 5 to 6
Sew the ears to head over round 6 to 10
