You need to slightly stretch the fabric in different directions; you will already see approximately where the eyes and forehead will be.

  1. 16. Crochet the indent for the mouth. (The indent should be symmetrical – 3 sc into one stitch, which is the center of the forehead. If not, crochet 1 more sc) 46 sc, skip 5 stitches (the last 3 stitches and the first 2 of the next row), insert hook into the third stitch of the next row, move marker.

Stuff the piece moderately, shaping the nose area, cheeks, and forehead. By pressing your fingers on the approximate eye placement, you need to somehow spread the stuffing, and the nose will lift upwards.

  1. 28. (2 sc, dec)6. (18)
  2. 29. (1 sc, dec)6. (12)

Head Shaping

  1. 30. (dec)6. (6)

Close, cut yarn, fasten off, weave in end.

Indentations

Insert needle with strong thread for indenting two rows above the indent (towards the nose position), pull through to the eye placement and back, tighten moderately. Do the same with the second eye. Fasten off the thread.

Insert needle two rows below the indent (closer to the neck), pull through at the indent placement, insert the tongue, catch the tongue’s thread and pull through at the neck placement, fasten off. Do the same with the lip. Sew the lip to the head at the corners.

Body

Start with the neck; for this, embroider the neck contour on the head using a Chain Stitch Seam of 15 stitches.

In the photo below, where the hook is inserted, that is the marker placement.
