Assembly

Ears: Sew the ear directly across from each other spanning round 1 or wherever they look best to you. If you want the ears to stand up straight after sewing them on, pull the yarn through the base of both ears so they are connected together.

Facial Features

The facial features are created using basic straight embroidery stitches with either embroidery floss or yarn. To get thicker facial features, go over each section 2 or 3 times.

Nose and Mouth: Find the center most stitch, lined up with the ears, between Rounds 12 and 13. That will be the center of the nose/mouth where all the stitches meet.

From there work one stitch straight down to make the mouth line.

To work the V of the nose, work up one round and over one stitch in each direction. The V of the nose is positioned between rounds 11-12. (You may need to go over 1.5 stitches on one of the sides to make the V more centered.)

Eyes: From each side of the nose, start each eye one round up and one stitch over. Work a straight stitch up over one crochet stitch to mark eye placement. Once you are happy with the eye placement, work an additional 2-3 sts in the same place to thicken the eye.
