Body: magic ring, 6 sc. [6]. Round 2: increase every stitch. [12]. Round 3: (sc, increase) 6 times. [18]. Rounds 4 and 5: sc around. [18]. Insert the red or orange safety eyes between rounds 3 and 4, about 4 stitches apart, and snap the washers on from the inside. Round 6: (sc, decrease) 6 times. [12]. Stuff lightly: the body should be slightly flat, not a full ball. Round 7: decrease around. [6]. Fasten off and pull shut.

Wings (make 2): chain 12. Row 1: sc in the 2nd chain from hook, sc across. [11]. Row 2: chain 1, turn, sc in each stitch across. Rows 3 to 5: chain 1, turn, decrease at the beginning and end of each row so the wing tapers. [5 stitches at the end of row 5]. Fasten off, leaving a 25 cm tail for sewing. The wing looks like a blunt triangle at this point. Pinch the straight edge into a slight curve before sewing to give the crescent shape.

Sew one wing to each side of the body at the widest point, straight edge along the side, curving outward and slightly downward. The wings should look like outstretched arms when viewed from the front.

Embroider two small white straight stitches below the eyes for fangs, each about 4 mm long and angled slightly outward.

Thread monofilament or thin ribbon through the top of the head and knot it to create a hanging loop.
