Using black yarn, embroider nose and mouth onto face. Start in the centre hole then sew two lines across the first two rounds slightly up and to the left, then the same up and to the right to make the nose, Sew tone line straight downwards from the centre hole over two rounds then sew Alling to the left and up a litle over the fst three rounds. De a matching line tothe right to complete the mouth. Stuff face a little then secure it to the head by sewing around the ledge of the face with the length of yarn attached. ANIMALS Sew the edges of ears together then sew to top of the head Stuff legs firmly and sew to body. Stuff tal very lightly then sew edges togather and sew in place. To make the fringe of hair on the head, you will sew loops into ends 1-3 on the top of the head, in front of the ears. Take a lenath of col 1 and thread it onto your needle. Sew the yarn through the head, leaving @ length of yarn long enough to go over the top of the face sticking out, Then sew a stitch in the same place, taking the yarn through the stitch in a lite knot to make it secure. Sew 3 large loop next to this, again big enough to hang down over the top of the face, then sew a securing stitch in the same place, as you did before. Continue doing this in the area in front of the ears until you have made about 16-17 loops. You can use more than one length af yarn if necessary. Cut each loop and trim to length. The strands will unravel a litte naturally to create a flutty effect, bbut you can speed this up. Take the point of the needle through each strand to separate it or use a wire pet brush to brush the fringe.
