Sup­plies H, G, and F hook Yarn: You will use less than ½ or a quar­ter of a skein of yarn for each col­or. Medi­um worsted dark and light grey, white yarn. 3 ½ inch but­tons This is the per­fect size for Susan Bates hooks, so about 5 inch­es. 

If your hooks are more exten­sive, you must increase your chains for the body. Place your hook against the chain count after Row 2, if it fits then you will be fine, if too small, go up a chain or two. 

If you have Susan Bates or a 5‑inch hook, you will be fine. The Body: Start with a Dark grey H hook. Row 1: Chain 25, sc in the 2nd chain from the hook, sc in each chain across, Turn.

Go in 2 stitch­es or so and sew them on both sides. The hook hold­er: White yarn, h hook. Work a foun­da­tion chain of 25, 

Watch this video if you have nev­er worked a foun­da­tion chain; I wouldn’t work just a chain because it will curve on you.

The foun­da­tion chain is as fol­lows: chain 2, yarn over and insert hook in the 2nd chain from the hook, yarn over and pull through one loop, and yarn over and pull through all three loops on the hook,

This video shows a foun­da­tion chain! 

 *Repeat for 24 more, so yarn over and insert hook in the cen­ter of the next stitch, yarn over and pull through one loop and yarn over and pull through all three loops on the hook,

After the 24 foun­da­tion chains, Turn

Rows 3–7: Ch 2, skip a stitch, *work 3 hdc in the 2nd pre­vi­ous hdc, ch 1, skip a stitch, *Repeat across, in the end, end with a hdc, Turn Sew on the hook hold­er across the 42 rows of sc, in between the ears and nose, see the pho­to above. 

Sew the chain 1 ver­ti­cal rows on each row going up and down, keep the chain 3’s free so that you can place your hooks inside. 

Be sure not to sew too deep, or it will show on the oth­er side. Then, Cre­ate a foun­da­tion chain of 25 just like the first one you cre­at­ed, for the top part of the hooks: white yarn, h hook. 

Row 2: Ch 2, skip a stitch, *work 3 hdc, ch 1, skip a stitch, *Repeat across, at the end, end with a hdc. Turn Sew that on top hold­er above the first hook hold­er; this will hold the top part of your hooks. Fas­ten off and Weave in all your ends.
