PATTERN NOTES
Gauge isn't all that important, but keep in mind that
your hook and yarn choices should result in a fairly tight stitch so that the
stuffing won't show through.
Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round or row indicate the total number
of stitches for that round or row.

Round 19: back loops only for this round dec over next 2sc around (24)
Round 20: sc in each sc around (24)
Round 21: dec over next 2sc around (12)
NOTE: It's gonna be a little holey on the decreases from round
19-23 but it's alright since this is the front part that gonna be cover with
felt and the lips. So the fiberfill wont show through or come out.
Begin stuffing at this point if you haven't already. Stuff moderately firm
while shaping as you go along.
Round 22: sc in each sc around (12)
Round 23: dec over next 2sc around (6)
F/O, leave a tail for closing. Add any bits of stuffing needed to finish
shaping the head nicely. Weave tail through the final row and draw up tight to
close. Secure and weave in ends.

At this point you can add 4 pipe cleaners inside the leave
and glue them in place. Cut them to the desire length. The pipe cleaners will
help bent the leaves nicely.
Round 16: sc in next 5sc, dec over next 2sc around (12)
Round 17: sc in next 4sc, dec over next 2sc, around (10)
Round 18: sc in next 3sc, dec over next 2sc around (8)
F/O, secure and weave in ends. Flatten leaves and do not stuff.
ASSEMBLY:
I highly recommend pinning all the pieces together
before sewing anything to make sure you have all the pieces done right and that
you get them in the positions you like best before sewing. It seems like alot
of extra work, but this will save you ALOT of hassle.
Fill the pipe with beans half way and the other half with fiberfill.
Leave about half an inch not fill.
The "soil" place it inside the pipe and sew the two pieces
together with matching thread/yarn.
The stem you want to put something sturdy inside. I put several pipe
cleaners inside. The pipe cleaners will help the stem to bent in different
directions. You want to place the stem right in the center of the
"soil" and sew it in place with matching thread/yarn.
Sew the stem in the center of the head, just like in the pictures. Once
sewn you can bent the stem with the head.
With white felt cut circles and glue them around the head.
Cut small triangles for the teeth and glue them in place.
