Face Shaping

• Place a pin in the middle of the muzzle (where the color changes); mine is red
• Place 2 pins at the edges of the tongue
• Place 2 pins where the nostrils will be
• Insert the needle in an inconspicuous spot and bring it out at a nostril. Move 2 sc down, insert the needle, and bring it out at the edge of the tongue. Pull tight. Repeat the same on the other side
• Now shape the eyes: from the center, count 6 sc to the right and left (on the color-change line). Bring the needle from the tongue to the eye, move 2 sc down, bring it out at the tongue, and pull tight. Repeat the same on the other side
• Sew on the ears and horns, using the photo as a guide
• Tint the nostrils, glue on the eyes, and embroider the eyebrows
• Sew on the head (if there is extra wire, cut it off)
• Brush the toy. Tint all the folds on the arms and legs, and make a tassel on the tail.
• Now you can dress the little one
