Assembly and Finishing

Sew the muzzle on between rounds 2 and 10, flattening it slightly.

Sculpt the head:

• Insert the needle with matching thread from the bottom center at the join between the body and the head, between round 21 of the body and round 1 of the head.
• Bring it out under the left eye from the outer edge, stepping inward toward the other edge of the eye.
• Insert the needle and bring it back out at the starting point; tighten gently.
• Then bring the needle out under the right eye from the outer edge, stepping inward toward the other edge of the eye.
• Insert the needle and bring it back out at the starting point; tighten gently.
• Tie the thread and repeat the steps above one more time.
• Tie off the thread, cut it, and hide it inside the head.

Sew the ears to the top of the head, squeezing them slightly at the sides. Finish the muzzle. Embroider the eyebrows. Sew the tail on so it acts as support when the bunny is sitting.
