Notes and Notions

♫ Each part should be stuffed firmly (if stuffing is indicated), but not so much as to cause the
stitches to gap and the stuffing to show.

worked stitches and one should choose the appropriate hook size for the desired yarn weight.
This pattern was created using Worsted weight cotton yarn and a U.S. size E-4 (3.50 mm) hook.

Sew pupils to the middle of the eye whites, sew onto head right by the hair line (since Shaun has
sort of buggy eyes you can add a small amount of stuffing behind the whites as you sew them to
the head).

Fold the small end of the ears in half and run a few sts through to secure the fold. Sew to the
sides of the head.
Sew the arms/legs to the sides and bottom of the body.
Attach the tail in the back centered between the legs.
