Turn right side out and stuff firmly, gather up the cast on sts
and secure. Attach the ears to each side of the head, fold each
ear at the cast on edges to the middle.

Using black yarn embroider the eyes, nose and mouth. Sew
the head to the middle of the comforter square. The arms are
made by gathering up the B&T and sewing up the row edges
