You can make the bow bigger by chaining more stitches in the beginning and adding more rounds.

F/O and weave in all ends. With a strand of yarn about 8" long wrap it several times through the middle of the bow and secure with a knot. Weave in ends. 

ASSEMBLE 

     I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best. (Most people like to use the yarn in the end from the finish pieces to sew them in place but I personally like to use matching thread).

     Sew the bow either on the left or right side between the rounds where we did the color change on the beanie.

 Other side of the foundation chains - this VIDEO explains how to do this technique.


FACE & EARS with white

  Rnd 3: sk st where we sl st in previous rnd, [ch8, hdc in 3rd ch from hook, dc in next ch, tr in next st, dc in next ch, hdc in next ch, sc in next ch], sl st in next 5 sts, [ch8, hdc in 3rd ch from hook, dc in next ch, tr in next st, dc in next ch, hdc in next ch, sc in next ch], continue to sl st around the face
F/O, secure and weave in the ends.

BODY with white
  Row 1: ch10, hdc in 3rd ch from hook, hdc in next 7sts, ch2, turn (8)

ASSEMBLE
     I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the yarn at the end of the finished pieces to sew them in place, but I personally like to use matching thread).
     TIP...For anything that I’m going to be using felt, I like to first sketch it out on a white paper and make a stencil of what I need. Then cut it out. Then tape the stencil to the felt and cut it out.
     Sew the head to the narrow part of the body.

     Sew the hands on the side and the feet on the bottom side portions.

     With pink yarn or embroidery floss, embroider the spots on the ear by making a line across it.

     With pink felt make an oval for the belly and 2 tiny circles for the feet. Glue them in place and embroider 2 small spots on each foot.

     With black felt, cut little small circles to make the eyes. If you have a hole puncher, use that it makes perfect little eyes. With pink yarn or embroidery floss make a line to make the nose then with black make another line down the center of the nose.
