Written Pattern:
Make two tooth patterns and we’ll stitch them together at the end.
x 2
Make a slipknot, ch 5, skip the last ch that you made, dc 4 = 4
Ch 1, turn your work, 1 inc, dc 2, 1 inc = 6
*Ch 1, turn your work, 1 dc in each st* x 4 rows = 6
Cut the yarn for the first piece but leave it attached on the second piece.
Body
Ch 1, turn your work, dc 6, pick up the first piece that you made and work 6 dc across = 12
Ch 1, turn your work, dc 12 = 12
Ch 1, turn your work, 1 inc, dc 10, 1 inc = 14
Ch 1, turn your work, dc 14 = 14
Ch 1, turn your work, 1 inc, dc 12, 1 inc = 16
Ch 1, turn your work, 1 inc, dc 14, 1 inc = 18
Ch 1, turn your work, 1 inc, dc 16, 1 inc = 20
Ch 1, turn your work, dc 20 = 20
Ch 1, turn your work, 1 dec, dc 16, 1 dec = 18
Ch 1, turn your work, 1 dec, dc 14, 1 dec = 16
Ch 1, turn your work, 1 dec, dc 12, 1 dec = 14
Ch 1, turn your work, 1 dec, 4 htc, 2 ss, 4 htc, 1 dec = 12
Ch 1, turn your work, 5 htc, 2 ss, 5 htc = 12
Cut your yarn and make a second tooth but leave the yarn attached at the end of the second tooth.
Place the safety eyes between row 5 and 6 counting down from the last row that you made, once you know where you want your eyes to be remove them and stitch on the eyelashes and mouth.
Once the eyes are on using the white yarn still attached to the tooth, dc through both pieces and stuff as you go. Please see the end of the video if you need any help with the eyes or how I stitched the two pieces together.
Pocket
Make a slipknot, ch 11, skip the last ch that you made and make 1 dc in each st = 10
*Ch 1 and turn, dc 10* x 8 rows = 10
Cut the yarn long enough to stitch the 3 sides onto the back of the tooth.
Handle
Leave a long starting tail, make a slipknot, ch 50, cut the yarn long enough to stitch it onto the top of the tooth.
