Toy Assembly

• Sew the cape between the head and body using the yarn tail we left at the beginning.
• Embroider the nose as a triangle with black plush yarn, as shown in the photo.
• Crochet around the legs in round 10 through FLO: 12 sc, then hide the yarn tail.
• Cut the eyes from white craft foam, and cut the emblem from yellow and black craft foam. I found examples online, drew one on paper, cut it out, and used that shape to cut the craft foam. Glue the pieces on with hot glue.

That's it, our Batman is ready!
