This next section of the head is a little tricky. See VIDEO for visual explanation.
When you begin row 10, you will want to make sure you are starting at the right side of Olaf’s body as Olaf is facing you. (See Diagram and/or video). For this reason, you will want to wait to place your embellishments to make sure your face is positioned correctly.
- Front post dc into each of the next 6 sc, sc into the next 8 sc which will bring you back around to the right side of Olaf. 2 sc in last sc. (16)
If you have completed row 10 correctly, you will have the upper lip formation of Olaf’s mouth across the front of Olaf’s face and you will end where you began, with your next stitch being the first fpdc that you created in row 10…
- Back post dc into each of the 6 front post dc that you created, inc with 2 sc into next sc, 1 sc into next 8 sc, In the last sc, make an inc with 2sc into last sc. (18)
- *1 sc in nxt sc, decrease over nxt 2 sc* repeat around (12)
- 1 sc in ea sc around (12)
- Decrease over nxt 2 sc, sc in nxt 8 sc, decrease over last 2 sc. (10)
- 1 sc in ea sc around (10)
- 1 sc in ea sc around (10)
Sew on CARROT NOSE. (See CARROT NOSE pattern below.) Stuff.
- *1 sc in nxt 3 sc, decrease with 2sc in next sc* repeat once (8)
- Weave around front loop of ea stitch for clean FO. This will also keep the top of your Olaf head a bit rounder.
Finish off.
BRANCH ARMS (Make 2)
- Decide placement on either side of Olaf’s UPPER BODY SEGMENT. Insert your hook into the sc on already finished body part and through the other side of sc.
- CH 14
- sc into 2nd chain from hook, slip stitch into nxt 2 ch
- CH 4
- sc into 2nd chain from hook, slip stitch into nxt 2 ch
- CH 4
- sc into 2nd ch from hook, slip stitch into nxt 2 ch
- CH 4
- sc into 2nd ch from hook, slip stitch into nxt 2 ch
You have just made the arm and 4 fingers.
- pull your fingers around to form a hand and slip into the ch following the 2nd slip stitch made in the very first finger.
- Hide your tail into the palm of hand, for the tail near the body, wrap tail around the bottom part of arm and tie off, FO.
- Repeat for 2nd arm on opposite side of body.
