Assembly

Eyes and mouth:

The eyes should be pressed closely together and positioned between round 6 and round 11
of the body. I recommend pinning both eyes in place before sewing them to the body and
stuffing them when you have sewed about ¾ of the way around. You might also want to sew
the eyes together at the place where they meet in the middle.

For the mouth, cut out a triangular piece of felt and attach it to the body about 2 rounds
below the eyes. I personally used a little bit of fabric glue to attach it.

Arms:

Make the top of the arms align with round 9 on either side of the body and position them
slightly closer to the eyes than to the back of the body.
Legs:

The legs are placed on rounds 18 and 19 on either side of the body. I placed one leg a little
bit in front of the other to make it look slightly more whimsical.

Arteries:

The single artery on the left side (when looking at the front of the body) is placed between
rounds 5 and 8 and positioned a little bit more towards the back of the body than the front.

For the double arteries on the right side of the body, place one of the rings between rounds 2
and five at the back of the body and place the second ring between rounds 3 and six a little
in front and to the right of the first ring. I recommend pinning both rounds in place before
sewing them to the body.
