Assembly

  • To hide the transition when changing yarn, use white Alize Softy yarn to make a few stitches to make the change less noticeable.
  • Mark the position for the eyes. I usually make an indentation and sew on the eyes. It’s important to make a good indentation. Insert the needle at the bottom of the head, bring it up where the first eye will go, then go back down and insert the needle where the second eye will be.
  • You can also do a slight indentation to define the face. Do this by inserting the needle at the bottom of the head, bringing it near the first eye, and making a stitch toward the second eye, following the edge of the face.

Once you’ve finished the facial features, sew on the ears and tail.
