Assembly
Glue the eyes between Rounds 8 and 9, about 5 stitches apart.
Use the eyes as a guide when sewing the legs and arms.
The legs are sewn between Rounds 22 and 23. Turn the doll to one side. The very back of the leg should
be about 6 stitches away from the eye (the foot would be closer to the animal’s tummy that way). Sew
several times and in several places so the leg is securely attached to the body. Then repeat with the other
leg.
Sew the arms on Rounds 15 and 16. Turn the body to one side (just like we did with the legs). The back
end of the arm should be about 4 stitches away from the eye. I sewed the back of the arms to the body and
then I sewed the “hands” to the belly, so they stay snugged.
Position the hat so it’s about 4 rounds above the eyes and sew it to the head.
Using the whip stitch, sew the ears on Rounds 2 through 5 of the hat. Once you finish, wet the ears and
press the middle with the back of a metal hook. This will give the ears a nice shape
Sew the tail at the back of the bear, between the legs. Before finishing, insert a little stuffing.
Before attaching the binky to the face, insert the mr tail through the mr.
Insert the needle through a front loop on any stitch on the right side of the piece. Refer to the picture on the right.
Before pulling the needle all the way through the stitch, wrap the thread around it 10 times. Carefully pull
the needle through the thread and the stitch. Then insert the needle back through the mr and pull.
Attach the binky to the face, a round below the eyes. I used tacky glue in addition to sewing it to the face.
Use a cotton swab and blush to add a little pink to the cheeks.
