Assembly and Finishing
First, sew on the ears, approximately between rounds 2 and 10. Make sure the ears are sewn symmetrically.
Embroider the face. Create the indentations at points 1-4 (see the photo). First, mark with pins the positions of the eyes (points 1 and 2), they are located between rounds 36 and 37 of the head, the distance between points 1 and 2 is 7 sc. Then mark points 3 and 4, which are located 1 sc to the sides of points 1 and 2 respectively.
Insert a long needle with thread at the base of the head (opposite to the face side) and bring it out at point 1. Then insert the needle at point 3 and bring it out at the base of the head (at the same point where you inserted the needle). Slightly pull the thread. You can repeat the indentation once more.
Similarly, make the indentation for the second eye, but in this case, bring the needle out at point 2 from the base of the head. Then insert the needle at point 4 and bring it out at the base again. Both ends of the thread should be together, pull them and tie a knot. Hide the knot inside the piece.
Glue the eyes in place at the indentations. Make small stitches under the eyes with white thread. Embroider the upper eyelids and eyebrows with black thread. With pink thread, between rounds 35 and 36, embroider the nose with horizontal stitches.
Congratulations, the Kitten is ready!
