Making the Jerath: Part 4 - Mouth

In this tutorial, we will be focusing on creating the mouth for the Jerath crochet project. The mouth is a crucial component of the Jerath as it helps bring the character to life. We will start by creating a magic circle with five stitches, ensuring that we leave a long starting tail to sew in. Once the magic circle is closed, we will leave another long end tail of about 10 to 12 inches. The next step is to finish off the mouth and set it aside for further assembly.

1. Start with a magic circle: Begin by creating a magic circle with five stitches, making sure to leave a long starting tail for sewing.
