FACE

Row 1: INC in the second CH from the hook, 1 SC, 3 INC in the last CH, 1 SC on the other side of the chain, 1 SC in the last CH. (8)
(We have made a round from the chain of CH, and continue working in the round)
Row 2: 2 INC, 1 SC, 3 INC, 1 SC, INC. (14)
Row 3: (1 SC, INC) x 2, 1 SC, (1 SC, INC) x 3, 2 SC, INC. (20)

Finish off with several SL ST, cut the yarn leaving a long tail for sewing. Insert a plastic nose (or embroider), stuff the piece before sewing shut.
TAIL
Chain 7, then 7 SC on the opposite side of the chain.
SCARF
Chain the desired length (around 70 CH) and work several rows of SC in the back loop only.
Sew the pieces together in any order that you prefer. The author suggests: head + body + arms + face + ears + tail. Your Barbosik is now complete!
