Change to Cloud Blue. Before we move on I just wanted to check in… Are you reading this

dooped. This is a free pattern on the above mentioned website only. Please head over there

Put work aside, and create the white felt piece for the face. I would recommend playing
around with a piece of paper first to get the size right before cut into the felt. Find st 16 and
st 24 of round 10. This is the placement for the eyes. Cut out two small holes in the felt that
matches the stitch placements. Use the safety eyes to attach the felt to the head, and fasten
with the washers. I would recommend completing the rest of Piplup before gluing the loose
parts of the felt piece to the head.

Fasten off and leave a long end for sewing. Flatten the bottom of the piece so that you have
6 sts at the front of the body and 6 sts at the back. Sew these two sides together. Each corner
being Piplup’s legs.Cut out two small round pieces of felt for the body. Leave this to one
side until Piplup is finished, and then glue onto body.
