Design and Assembly
- Sew the ears on between rows 2 and 10, ensuring they are symmetrically placed.
- Make the muzzle. Tighten at points 1-4 (see photo).
- Mark the locations for the eyes (points 1 and 2) between rows 36 and 37 of the head. The distance between points 1 and 2 is 7 sc.
- Mark points 3 and 4, which are 1 sc to the side of points 1 and 2.
- Insert a long needle with thread into the base of the head (opposite side of the muzzle) and bring it out at point 1. Insert the needle into point 3 and bring it out at the base of the head. Tighten the thread.
- Repeat for the second eye, bringing the needle out at point 2 and inserting it into point 4. Tighten and tie a knot. Hide the knot inside the part.
- Glue the eyes where the tightening is. Embroider small stitches under the eyes with white thread.
- Embroider the upper eyelids and brows with black thread.
- Embroider a pink nose between rows 35 and 36 with horizontal stitches.
All Finished!
