The Pattern
Use the checkboxes to track your progress
01Color Chart Key
Border = Stitch Type
Look at the border of the square to signify the stitch used
sc = Single Crochet
dec = Decrease
invdec = Invisible Decrease
mbo (mini bobble st) to add a nose in stitch 4 (*optional)
bo = Bobble Stitch
Brackets = Where to work the stitch
Boxes connected by brackets signify where that stitch is worked into (ie. worked into the same st)
inc = Increase (worked into the same stitch)
BLO = Worked into the back loop only (furthest loop)
FLO = Worked into the front loop only (closest loop)
= Worked into both loops and the BLO from the Rnd before.
Color Key
Look at the colors in the square to determine the color of the stitch.
Solid bordered squares with two colors require a half color change. Make the first pull through, completing the previous stitch, with the first color (Red), and next with the second color (Green).
The number above of the box is the stitch number in that round (ie. 10 = stitch #10).
Other Notes
= Where to place the eyes
= Where to place the head bolts
= Time codes pertain to pattern video

Adding the Face:
Start by adding the eyes. Both eyes go in Rnd 8 The right eye goes in stitch 2, and the left goes in stitch 6. Try to get the eye into the center of the stitch, it helps to use a darning needle poked through and twisted to create space to more easily fifit the eye into.
You can use an extra strand of Green yarn sewn from behind the eyes to create bags under the eyes or an angry emotion.
Now add bolts to the sides of his head by using bullion knots in Grey yarn over the st 18 in Rnd 8 and st 9 in Rnd 9.
Finally, embroider a stitch on the for-head by using Dark Green yarn.
