TO MAKE UP
Use Yarn A to sew the two Body pieces together, using a little bit of toy stuffing if desired. Stitch the nose and the eyes using black embroidery. We have positioned the nose in the first ch-1 sp of Round 3, and the eye between Rounds 2 and 3 – you can use the image as a guide.
Sew the Ear in place and secure the Bow Tie around the neck using the fastening-off tail.
