Assembly:

• Attach the head to the body with the tail from the head. Weave in and out of each piece with the tail. Ensure the neck is attached where the head narrows to form the snout. Firmly stuff the neck before completely sewing the opening closed.
• Use safety eyes, insert them into the center of the yellow eyes created with yarn. Lightly stuff them and position them above the snout on the head. It may help to pin the pieces to the head first to position them correctly. Use the tail of the eyes to sew them to the head.
• Attach the eyebrows above the eyes at a diagonal angle. Use the tail from the eyebrows to sew them to the head all the way around.
• Attach the nose to the front of the snout using the tail from the piece. Center the nose on the top part of the snout, covering more of the light pink portion than the dark pink portion. Sew it into the correct position to get the right shape for the nose. Lightly stuff the nose before sewing the opening closed.
• Attach the ears to the top of the head. Pin them in the desired position on the top side of the head and sew them on with the yarn tail.
• Use black yarn to embroider a mouth, using surface crochet to create the smile.
• Use black yarn to create whiskers. Make a large knot on the inside of the snout and pull the whisker through. There should be 3 whiskers on either side.
• Attach the arms to the body with the tails from each piece. Use a whip stitch. Pin all the limbs in the desired position before attaching. Ensure to shape the shoulder by squishing down the top of the arm.
• Attach the feet to the bottom of the legs with the yarn tail. Ensure the legs are firmly stuffed before closing the opening.
• Attach the tail to the back of the doll, making sure it is positioned in the middle at the bottom.
• Attach the stomach patch to the front of the doll. Position the wider portion of the stomach at the bottom and use the tail to attach it all around.
