A while back I got a request for a tiny Cubone, but all of the patterns available weren't really my cup of tea so I wrote my own! I had been meaning to put the nearly nonsensical scraps of pattern notes into a legible pattern for quite a while, so I finally sat down and forced myself to write.
I hope you enjoy the pattern, and feel free to let me know if there's any issues. (Preferably in the comments so others can see the solution if they had the same problem.)
These patterns take time to design and write out. If you enjoyed using my pattern, please consider supporting me by paying what you can for the pattern by using the "buy me a coffee" button to the right.

Fasten eyes, and stuff the head.

ALSO
Hi! Thanks for the pattern!
ReplyDeleteWhich side of the skull do I sew the eyes on? The rounded part, of the flatter part?
Oops, I meant "or the flatter part?"
DeleteNo problem! The rounded part is the front of the face, so sew the eyes on that side. (Think of the increases like the chin/cheeks.)
DeleteThank you!!
