Assembly

1. Attach the ears on the sides between rows 12 and 14.
2. Embroider the nose between the eyes.
3. Attach the base of the hat all around, two rows above the eyes. Stitch the tail of the hat down, behind the ear, so it remains in place. Tie the bell at the end.
4. Stitch the ends of the scallops of the collar down.
5. Attach the arms on the side.

6. Attach the legs, 8 stitches apart, on the last two rows of the body. Curl the ends of the shoes backward and stitch them down using the brown yarn tails. Then thread the same yarn through the legs and into the body and pull tight. Knot both yarn tails at the back of the body and hide them. This will help point the shoes upright.
7. Embroider 2 ‘x’- shaped buttons on the shirt.
8. Add blush to the cheeks.
