The Pattern
Use the checkboxes to track your progress
01Body
[All in Color A] Magic loop
sc = Single Crochet
inc = Increase (sc 2 in one st)
(#) = How many stitches in the round (aka 'Rnd').
Rnd 1: sc 6 into the magic loop (6)
Rnd 2: [sc 1, inc 1] 3 times (9)
Rnd 3: [sc 2, inc 1] 3 times (12)
Rnd 4: [sc 3, inc 1] 3 times (15)
Rnd 5: [sc 4, inc 1] 3 times (18)
FLO = worked in the Front Loops Only
mp = Mini Picot (ch 2, slst in the first ch made to form a point)
FLO = Front Loop Only
mp = Mini Picot
Rnd 6: sc 6, working in the FLO, sc 1, [hdc 1, mp, hdc 1] repeat 5 times, sc 1 (18 [+5 mp])
Alternate Frill Option (Advanced)
Use the following Rnd, in place of Rnd 6 above, to create an alternate version of the frill crown which is slightly larger and has a white edging. I’ve made a second full length video for it which you can watch here!
*Note: dcinc = Double Crochet Increase (2dc in the same stitch)
Rnd 6*: sc 6, working in FLO, sc 1, hdc 1, dcinc 1, dc 1, dcinc 1, dc 2, dcinc 1, dc 1, dcinc 1, hdc 1, sc 1 (22)
Using a strand of white yarn begin going around the outer stitches of the frill towards the center. When you reach the center hide the end down through the center of the frill and into the body. Repeat this same process on the opposite side of the frill so that the white stitches are both pointing inward towards the center of the face.
02Adding Eyes
To add the eyes I'll be using safety eyes to make things easier, but you can also use bullion knots (aka french knots) instead.
Bonus video tutorial for Bullion Knots here.
Add eyes into Rnd 3, sts 6 and 11. They should line up with the corner spikes of the frill.
03Horns
There are 2 ways to make the horns. The easiest way is to simply embroider the horns on by weaving a strand of white yarn from the inside between 2 adjacent stitches on the head, and double knotting from the inside to secure.
My favorite method, however, is to crochet the horns and attach on the inside in a similar method.
Crocheted Horns (make 3):
[All in White] Make a slip knot and Ch 2,
Skip the first ch and pull tight, sc 1 in 2nd ch.
Ch 1, cut the yarn and pull through leaving somewhat long ends to use for attaching.
Attach the horns by pulling your tail ends through 2 adjacent sts, and knotting on the inside. You can use a needle for this, but this can be done more easily by using your hook. Attach the horns in the following locations:
04How to Crochet a Bobble Stitch (bo)
Step 1:
Yarn over and insert hook into the stitch.
Step 2:
Yarn over again and pull through.
Step 3:
Yarn over a 3rd time and pull through
only 2 loops.
Step 4:
Repeat steps 1 – 3 four times total for a classic bobble stitch.
Step 5:
Yarn over and pull through all the loops on the hook.
Pro tip: Use more of a scooping motion when pulling through to more easily finish the stitch.
05Body Continued
Rnd 7: sc 6, working into the unused BLO from Rnd 5, sc 12 (18)
bo = Bobble Stitch (see above)
Rnd 8: sc 1, bo 1, sc 2, bo 1, sc 13 (18)
Rnds 9 - 11: sc in each st (18 x 3)
Rnd 12: sc 2, bo 1, sc 2, bo 1, sc 12 (18)
Rnd 13: sc in each (18)
invdec = Invisible Decrease (working in the FLO of the next 2 sts simultaneously, sc 1)
Rnd 14: [sc 1, invdec 1] 6 times (12)
Stuff mostly.
Rnd 15: invdec 1, sc 2, invdec 4 (7)
Rnd 16: invdec 1, sc 1, invdec 1, stop early (5)
Cut the yarn and pull through. Stuff fully using a stick or the back of your crochet hook before sewing closed. (See next section for detailed instructions)
06Sewing Closed
To sew closed, after stuffing fully, thread the tail end onto a darning needle. Work the needle and tail end through the FLO (front loops only) of the last 5 sts of the last Rnd of the body. Pull tightly to close shut, and hide the end back into the body before cutting it close.

Hey how long does it take to get your photo submitted
Hi does anyone know how to get untangle credits
You can get untangle credits by completing patterns on the website. To show that they are completed you have to submit a photo of your finished work. This can be done by pressing the “submit your photo” button under the community showcase on a pattern, or by clicking on the little question mark on the navy blue pop-up on a pattern, followed by the “I finished this pattern” segment where you can upload a photo to complete the pattern. It may take a couple of days for the photo to be reviewed. You need 5 completed patterns for one credit and you can check how many patterns you have completed under “pattern activity” which is found on your account page by going to the top right button on the main bar and clicking on “manage account”. Here at the bottom you will find your pattern punch card which shows you how many credits you have and how many patterns you need for the next credit. You can read more about untangled updates on the club crochet news page here –> https://clubcrochet.com/club-crochet-untangled/
Hope this helps!
Thanks
I forgot to mention that I think untangled credits can also be bought in the shop and obtained possibly through giveaways in livestreams later on and membership upgrades.
