FINISHING!!! Attach any parts that you have not attached so far to the body and or head. For arms, sew along the seam so that the knit side of the 2 arm pieces you are sewing together are facing out. I did NOT stuff the arms before closing them up to keep them as flat as possible. I did however want the arms to be a bit thicker hence making 2 pairs. Embroider 2 eyes using 3 stiches of black yarn for each eye. Embroider toenails at the end of each foot with white yarn, (I just covered my “cast on area” with white yarn which seemed to look good). Weave in any loose ends and you are DONE!

**Notes:

I wanted a smaller

finished product so

the needle size and

yarn weight that I

used worked for

me. Use the needle

size and yarn

weight that works

best for you though!
