neck: 4 pent.
head: 1 hex, 7 pent, 2 square nose patch.
ears: 2 hex.
eyes: 14tr around.

12/07 - done!

Eyes made as little crochet circles (14tr around) instead of safety eyes as it’s for a baby.
Needed stuffing really firm to make a good shape, so quite a firm toy for a baby, but I like it - I think it will hold up well.
