ASSEMBLY
I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you
have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the
yarn in the end from the finish pieces to sew them in place but I personally like to use
matching thread).
On both of the face parts…in the inside you would need to line them with a cloth
so the fiberfill won’t show through and/or if you wash the pillow the fiberfill won’t
come out. You can sew or glue the cloth in place.

 Stuff both of the face parts. I overstuffed my pillow because I want it to be really
firm. Using the whip stitch, sew both sides together with white yarn and a tapestry
needle. By using this stitch, it would look like it was done in one piece.

The ears…stuffed them moderately firm. They will be sewn in the side top part
of the face between both of the round 15’s. Space them out about 7.5” apart.

 The bow…you will need to sew the center of the bow where we wrap the pink
strand several times. Sew the bow on the right ear.

The eyes…space them out about 5.5” apart. Place them lengthwise between
round 1 and round 4.
The nose will be in round 3 and 5 and right in the middle of the eyes.
