START:
76 stitches, divided by 4, 19 per needle.
(I prefer it tight, but if you love it loose, then start with up to 80-84 stitches)
NECK:
Knit 6 rounds in stockinette
Knit 6 rounds in knit-wise
Knit 6 rounds in stockinette
Knit 6 rounds in knit-wise
……………Repeat…………..
Continue until you you have reached the length for the neck area (so the base would sit nicely on your collar bones and the top would touch the chin while stretched out a bit).
Finish the pattern with stockinette!

Knit 1 round in knit-wise
End stitches IN STOCKINETTE between the marked area for eye opening.
Lets call this ONE ROUND:
Knit knit-wise til the eye opening, turn backwards and knit to the other side of the eye opening in stockinette stitch.
Knit until above your eyebrow. For me it was 6 rows (12 stockinette lines).
Knit rounds as described above. In my case its 57 stitches per row. So i need to start 19 stitches to finish the eye opening and continue with head.
