 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.

 You slip stitch on the first sc, not on top of the chain 1.

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

     ARMS...no need to stuff them. Align them to the feet and place them on round 11 and 12.

     MUSTACHE LOOKING THING...place it between round 10 and 13.

     EARS...place the ears on round 3 of the head/body. You will only be sewing the top portion of the ear and leaving the rest unsew.

     TAIL...place it on the back on round 16.

     NOSE...using black felt make a rounded rectangle and place it on the center of the mustache thing.

     EYES...using black felt make 2 circles and another 2 using white felt but make these much smaller. Place the black circles on round 8 and 9; approx. 1" apart. The tiny white circles go on the top of the black circles.
