Squirrel Amigurumi Part 1 - Crochet a little squirrel - In this video we crochet the head

ETA: Apologies, there are some errors. In round 5 I must have skipped some stitches. It should instead be:
Rnd 5: Sc 1, in caramel: sc 2, in white: sc 9, in caramel: sc 2, in grey: sc 4 (18)
Rnd 6: Sc 1, in caramel: sc 3, in white: sc 8, in caramel: sc 3, in grey: sc 3 (18)
Rnd 7: [sc 1, dec 1]*6 (12) In hindsight I recommend crocheting this round in grey only, no colour changes. I realised later that this looks better in the end.

Hello lovely people, I'm Stella from Stella's Yarn Universe. In this video, I show you how to crochet a little squirrel. Actually in this particular video we only crochet the head, so this is part 1 of the tutorial.

This is a fun little project, ideal for intermediate and practised crocheters. Don't be intimidated by the color changes. You can also make your squirrel in one color only and I promise you, it will look just as cute.

This time I divided the tutorial into three parts.
Part 2:    • Part 2 Squirrel Amigurumi Tutorial - ...  
Part 3:    • Part 3 Squirrel Amigurumi Tutorial - ...
