Moose

I made this guy over the weekend. I'm still thinking about adding a red scarf for him. Anyway here's the pattern:

Snout - R1: sc 6 into a circle (6). R2: INC (12). R3: Sc 1, INC (18). R4-9: Sc around (18). Head - R1: sc 6 into a circle (6). R2: INC (12). R3: Sc 1, INC (18). R4: Sc 2, INC (24). R5: sc 1, INC 3x, sc in next 18 sc (27). R6: Sc 2, INC 3x, sc in next 18 sc (30). R7: sc 2, INC 4x, sc in next 18 sc (34). R8: sc 3, INC 4x, sc in next 18 sc (38). R9: sc in first 28 sc, DEC, sc in next 2 sc, DEC, sc in next 6 sc (36). R10: Sc 4, DEC (30). R11: Sc 3, DEC (24). R12: Sc2, DEC (18). R13: Sc 1, DEC (12). R14: DEC (6).
Body - R1: sc 6 into a circle (6). R2: INC (12). R3: Sc 1, INC (18). R4-11: Sc around (18). R12: Sc 1, DEC (12). R13-14: Sc around (12).
Arms - R1: sc 6 into a circle (6). R2: Sc2, INC (8). R3-9: Sc around (8).
Legs - R1: sc 6 into a circle (6). R2: INC (12). R3: Sc 1, INC (18). R4-5: Sc around (18). R6: Sc 1, DEC (12). R7: Sc 2, DEC (9). R8-12: Sc around (9).
Assembly - I made the antlers free form out of felt and put wire inside to keep them stiff and standing up. I used small black eyes for the nostrils and big black eyes for his eyes with just a piece of white felt behind each.

Hi I love your moose! I'm trying to make one myself and I'm stuck on round 5 of the head. It says sc 1, INC 3x, sc in next 18 sc (27) but that only adds up to 25. If you wouldn't mind helping me figure out where to put the extra sc's I would be very grateful! Thanks so much for sharing your pattern!
