🎨 Assembly & Details

1. Eyes & Nose: If not using safety eyes, embroider two small black dots for eyes and a tiny triangular nose on the center of the face.
2. Attach Ears: Sew the flattened ears to the top of the head, spacing them evenly.
3. Belly Patch (Optional): With Cream yarn, embroider a small oval on the lower front of the body using satin stitch.

💡 Pro Tips

• Tension: Keep your stitches tight so the stuffing doesn't show through!
• Scaling: Use chunky yarn and a larger hook to make a jumbo version, or lace-weight yarn and a 1.5 mm hook for a microscopic "flea market" version.

Happy Crocheting!
