Round 4: (3 sc, 1 inc) repeat 6 times around. (30 sts)
Round 5 (BLO): Working in the back loops only to create a clean edge, work 36 sc around. (Note: If your stitch count varies slightly due to the fluffy yarn, ensure you balance it to around 36 stitches by placing minor adjustments).

Row 2: 6 sc. Fasten off.
Border: Switch to White yarn. Join at any corner and work a decorative border around the rectangle by alternating (ch 3, sl st into next st) around all edges.
Wrap white yarn tightly around the center of the rectangle to pinch it into a bow shape. Glue or sew to the base of Melody’s floppy ear.

Wrap white yarn around the middle to pinch into a large bow and affix below Kuromi’s chin or onto the hood.

Assembly & Finishing Details

Face Placement: Securely glue or press the 8x10mm oval safety eyes onto the white face area. Use standard black embroidery yarn to stitch small eyelashes or simple smiles.
Kuromi Forehead Accent: Cut out a small classic skull icon from pink/dark pink felt fabric. Glue it directly to the center triangle forehead point of Kuromi’s hood.
Attaching Petals: Take the completed 6-petal ring, slide it over the wire stem from the bottom up, and position it directly behind the character’s hood. Use the long tail yarn to sew the inner ring of the petals firmly to the back of the character’s head. To keep the petals from sagging, add a tiny hidden stitch between the sides of each neighboring petal so they hold a neat, cupped shape around the face.
Rosy Cheeks: Dip a small makeup brush or cotton swab into cosmetic pink blush and gently dust the cheeks right beneath the eyes for that perfect handmade touch.
