Quick Overview of Pattern

• Carefully embroider or glue on eyes and chest details for character accuracy.
• Assemble parts in the recommended order for the best result and finish.

Notes

• Always use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round to avoid losing your place.
• Change yarn colors as instructed, always finishing the last yarn-over of the previous stitch in the new color.
• Tension should remain tight so stuffing does not show through the stitches.
• All stitch counts at the end of each round should be checked to match instructions.
• Use either safety eyes, sewn eyes, or glue-on googly eyes as discussed in the assembly; insert before closing the head if needed.
• Consider leaving long yarn tails for sewing at the end of each component.
