ASSEMBLING
Sew the head to the body. Pay attention to place the tummy to the front side.
Sewing the arms and legs:
Scan the diagram of assembling arms and legs below. Thread a piece of yarn onto a long tapestry needle. Push the needle right at the 9th round through the body from side to side, then pass it through the leg and the button, leaving a long thread end on the first side. Now run the needle back through the button and leg then through the body so it reappears close to the starting end of the yarn. Repeat the same process for the other leg. The two yarn ends should be close together now. Pull them both tightly and knot the two ends securely. Be sure that it will not be untied. Hide the knot between the body and leg. Hide the yarn ends inside the body using the needle.
Plumpy side will be its tummy
Sew the arms onto the 21st round of the body using the same method.
Forming the face
Mark the places of eyes with pins. Leave 6 stitches between them.
For marking the place of nose, insert a pin between rows 3 and 4 by centering it between the eyes.
For mouth, mark between rows 7 and 8 with a pin. It must be aligned with the place of nose.
Insert the needle into the point marked for mouth, pulling it out at the point marked for left eye. Push the needle back in at the point a stitch ahead and out at starting point ( point marked for mouth ). Pull both ends of the yarn tightly and knot the yarn ends securely.
Repeat the same process for the right eye.
Insert the needle into the point of mouth and pull out of the point for nose.
Repeat this for the second time and weave in yarn ends tightly at the starting point (at the point for the mouth). Hide the yarn ends.
Sew the mouth part onto the point for mouth.
Sew the nose to its marked place on the face.
Sew the ears on its head.
Use some glue to stick glass eyes onto a piece of felt. Cut the felt around the eyes with scissors and shape it as you wish after the glue dries. Stick the eyes to their places on face and embroider eyebrows.
