You can also leave the sleeve stitches unbound, place them on hold, and finish the sleeves to your desired length later. I knitted 7 or 8 more rows and then bound off.

After binding off the sleeve stitches, knit 10 more rows (bottom of the sweater) and bind off. Sew the sweater directly on the toy.

Hat Instructions

Cast on 40 stitches + 2 edge stitches and knit 2x2 ribbing for 24 rows. Then work 20 dec and pull the fabric closed. Sew the hat seam.
