Ragamuffin
Ragamuffin halfway done
Notes:
This pattern is done in continous rounds.
You can choose the yarn & hook you prefer, just make sure the gauge is tight enough so the filling won't pop out.
I prefer using some form of safety eyes, but you can also use felt or embroider on both eyes and nose (I did that on the first one I made).
Just remember to make the features in proportions to the head.
