PATTERN NOTES
Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round/row indicate the total number of stitches.
Always use stitch markers to mark your rounds.
There's no need to sl st and/or ch when going to the next round unless stated to do so.
Always do the 1st stitch where you slip stitch from the previous round.
The chain, in the beginning, does NOT count as one stitch unless stated otherwise.
You slip stitch on the first sc, not on top of the chain 1.
SPECIAL STITCHES
Invisible join - this VIDEO explains how to do this technique.
BREAD SLICE with beige/white; 3.25mm
Row 1: ch8, sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each ch across, ch1, turn (7)
Row 2-6: sc in each st across, ch1, turn (7)
Row 7: 3sc in next st, sc in next 5 sts, 3sc in next st, ch1, turn (11)
Row 8: hdc in next 4 sts, sc in next st, sl st in next st, sc in next st, hdc in next 4 sts, sl st into same st we did the last hdc (12)
F/O, using the 2.75mm hook, attach the light brown yarn into any st and sl st all the way around, join to 1st st with the invisible join. F/O, secure and weave in the ends.
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.
EYES...these can be done however you like, the possibilities are endless. You can search online for "kawaii faces" or anything along those lines to get some ideas.
SMILE...using black thread or embroidery floss, embroider a smile or use felt.
OPTIONAL…you can add a little blush underneath the eyes using makeup blush and a q-tip.
