Assembly

1. Using 4 ply black cotton, sew the eyes to the head. The eyes are sewn over round 9, 5 stitches apart (hint: have 5 stitch 'holes' between the eyes). Make 3 vertical stitches.
2. Using black embroidery thread, sew the eyebrows above the eyes over round 7, diagonally across 1 stitch.
3. Using 4 ply black cotton, sew the nose to the head. The nose is sewn over round 11. The shape of the nose will be an upside-down triangle, with the top of the nose spanning across 3 stitches. Make 3 to 4 stitches from the bottom stitch 'hole' (refer to image) to each of the top stitch 'holes'. Make 4 horizontal stitches spanning across the top stitch 'holes'. Note: there is a slightly wider gap between the nose and the eyes if using the safety eye option instead of the embroidered eye option.
4. Flatten the ears and use a whip stitch to sew the ears over rounds 4 to 7 of the head. The bottom of the ears will be 4 to 5 stitches away from the eyebrows (hint: have 4 to 5 stitch 'holes').
5. Flatten the arms and use a whip stitch to sew the arms between rounds 18 and 19 of the body. The arms are 9 stitches apart at the front (hint: have 9 stitch 'holes' between the arms). Use a whip stitch to sew the legs over rounds 23 to 25 of the body. The legs are 2 stitches apart (hint: have 2 stitch 'holes' between the legs). Remember to add some stuffing before sewing the last few stitches of the leg!
7. [Optional] Apply blush for the cheeks.
