Attaching the Ears and Nose
Attach the ears between rounds 11 and 12, spacing them 8 stitches apart. The nose should be embroidered between rounds 1 and 2 with 6-7 stitches.
Shaping the Ears
- Insert a needle from the bottom of the head, between rounds 10 and 11, 1 stitch to the side of the center.
- Bring the needle out between rounds 11 and 12 on the outer side of the ear.
- Insert the needle between rounds 12 and 13 from the inner side of the ear (thread passes behind the ear).
- Pull the thread tight to form the desired depth, tie a knot, and hide the thread inside the head.
Repeat the process for the second ear.
