Pattern Notes
Make the parts in the order of the sections. A part is sewn to the one it names, which is always made before it.
Stuff firmly before closing or sewing a part: it should be full and hold its shape. Pin each part in place and check the look from the front before sewing; weave the ends in.
eye_left on torso, #1d1d1f, about 9 mm across, at the top, 151 mm up, on the left, towards the front: embroider it, or sew on a small piece of felt or yarn. Add it last, after the stuffing and sewing, so you can place it by eye.
eye_right on torso, #1d1d1f, about 9 mm across, at the top, 151 mm up, on the right, towards the front: embroider it, or sew on a small piece of felt or yarn. Add it last, after the stuffing and sewing, so you can place it by eye.
ear_dish_left on ear_left, #dcbd8c, about 24 mm across, about halfway up, 19 mm up, towards the front: a flat piece, cut from felt or crocheted flat, 9 mm thick, sewn on. Add it last, after the stuffing and sewing, so you can place it by eye.
ear_dish_right on ear_right, #dcbd8c, about 24 mm across, about halfway up, 19 mm up, towards the front: a flat piece, cut from felt or crocheted flat, 9 mm thick, sewn on. Add it last, after the stuffing and sewing, so you can place it by eye.
mouth on snout, #1d1d1f, about 28 mm across, low, 9 mm up, towards the front: a flat piece, cut from felt or crocheted flat, 8 mm thick, sewn on. Add it last, after the stuffing and sewing, so you can place it by eye.
nose_stitches on nose, #1d1d1f, about 17 mm across, about halfway up, 10 mm up, towards the front: embroider it, or sew on a small piece of felt or yarn. Add it last, after the stuffing and sewing, so you can place it by eye.
The yarn amounts are an estimate from the stitch count; buy a little extra.
