Yaamon

Here is the in-training form of Impmon. I enjoyed making this one, especially the ears.

Abbreviations

stst = Stockinette stitch. Knit being the right side and Purl being the wrong side.

Kfb = Knit front and back into a stitch to increase.

K2tog or P2tog = Knit or Purl 2 stitches together to decrease

B and T = break of yarn leaving a long end and thread through sts left on the knitting needle and pull tight to close the hole then fasten off

If knitting in the round divide the stitches equally among the needles and when it says to Purl a row Knit instead. Stuff as you go.

Cast Off
Sew up the back seam then stuff, pin in place on top of head to get position right then sew the Cast off edge to the head. Bend the tops slightly to form the ear bends.

Face

Using light brown felt cut out the face. I found putting pins in place on the head and drawing on a piece of paper to map out the face to get it to the right size helpful, I then pinned the paper template on to the felt to cut round. Do the same with the Eyes using white for the eyeball and green for the iris. Pin the iris's on to the eyeball's and then sew on using a matching green thread. Then pin the completed eyes on to the face and sew on using white thread. Pin the face on to the head using the pins you used to map out the face and then sew on using a matching brown thread.
