Insert the needle inside the Head and push it out the back so the yarn does not show; cut the end close to the Head. Cut a 16" (40.5 cm) length of Black and separate plies in half. Thread needle with 2 ply and add eyelashes using 3 straight stitches and eyebrows using one straight stitch for each eye.
Assembly Instructions
- Sew Cheeks to Rnds 18-21 of Head, leaving 3 sts between Cheeks and adding polyester fiberfill before closing to keep the cheeks rounded.
- Place and sew the Beak between the Cheeks, aligning the wider end on top and lining up bottom curve with the base of the Cheeks.
- Attach Head to Body with extra stuffing in the neck area to make the neck firm; sew securely through the last rounds and into the body.
- Flatten the Arm with the thumb at the side, sew across the beginning ch to close, and attach Arms to the Body with thumbs pointing upward.
- Sew Tail to the Body at the center back of Round 8, flattening the tail and securing the starting chain to the body.
- Glue felt eye layers in order: White base, Light Blue middle, Black pupil, positioning per photo guidance for correct expression.
Important Notes
- 💡Use stitch markers to mark the beginning of each round when working in continuous rounds to avoid losing your place.
- 💡Stuff parts firmly but incrementally; add stuffing as you go to avoid lumps and to shape the head and body correctly.
- 💡Pin pieces in place before sewing to check symmetry and ensure correct alignment of eyes, cheeks and limbs.
- 💡Weave in yarn ends securely and cut close to the work; use glue where needed under felt pieces for extra hold.
