PATTERN NOTES - must read...
 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.

At night, it wanders the city in search of loose change.

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.
     EARS...there's no need to stuff them, simply flatten them out. Place them between round 4 and 8.

     FEET...if you haven't already stuff them lightly. Place them in round 15 and 17; approx. 1.25" apart.

     ARMS...there's no need to stuff them. Place them right beneath the ears on round 11 and 12.

     TAIL...place it in round 16 over on the back of the body, try to find the middle. Once it has been sewn in place, bent it in the position you like best.

     KOBAN COIN...using black thread or embroidery floss make 4 horizontal lines on the coin. Place it on round 4. Don't completely sew it in place, only for two rounds.

     INNER EARS...using pink felt make 2 triangles slightly smaller than the ones we crochet. Glue them in place.

     EYES...using black felt, make 2 oval shaped eyes. With white felt, make 2 small circles. Place the black eyes between round 7 and 9; approx. 1" apart. Place the white eyes on the top of the black eyes.

     MOUTH...using thread or embroidery floss make its mouth on round 11. You can play around with it and make it however you like, the possibilities are endless.

     WHISKERS...get 2 strands and place the ends together. Sew the ends together. Repeat the same process with the 2 more strands. Place them on round 11 about 0.50" away from the mouth.
