Always do the 1st stitch where you slip stitch from the previous round.

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...I used safety eyes. If you have no craft stores around your area that sell safety eyes you can use doomed buttons or black felt. Place them in between rounds 9 and 10; approx. 4 stitches apart (0.90").
CARROT...there is no need to stuff it. Place it in the center of the eyes between rounds 11 and 12.
BUTTONS...using black felt, cut out 2 small circles and place them on rounds 16 and 18.
Rnd 4: back loops for this round only, sc in each st around (15)
Rnd 5-6: sc in each st (12)
Rnd 9: front loops for this round only, *sc in next st, 2sc in next st* repeat til last st, sc in last st (22)
Rnd 10: sc in next st around, sl st in the last 2 sts to give it an even finish (22)
F/O, secure and weave in the ends.
