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 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.
     WINGS...place the wings between rounds 10 and 14.
     EARS...align them with the wings and place them between rounds 4 and 5.
     BACK PART of the EYES...using white felt draw out 2 circles overlapping to create the shape I used for the back. Place between rounds 6 and 13.
     EYES...with black felt make 2 circles. Place the black eyes in the center of each overlapped circle, like in the picture below.
     BEAK...using gold or mustard felt make a rounded triangle. Place in the center of the overlapping circles.
     SPOTS...using white or color of choice embroidery floss or thread, embroider little "v" beneath the eyes in the order you like best.

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

SPECIAL STITCHES
3 Chain Picot Stitch - ch3, insert hook into the 3rd chain from hook, y/o & draw up the yarn through all the loops.
Half Triple Crochet (htr) - Y/O hook twice, insert hook into stitch & pull up a loop (4 loops remaining), Y/O hook & pull thru 2 loops (3 loops remaining), Y/O hook & pull thru the 3 remaining loops.
Other side of the foundation chains - this VIDEO explains how to do this technique.

SEED with white; 3.5mm hook
  Rnd 1: 6sc in magic ring (6)
  Rnd 2: 2sc in each st around (12)
  Rnd 3: sc in next st, 2sc in next st around (18)

  Rnd 12: sc in next 9 sts, sc2tog around (30)
  Rnd 13: sc in next 3 sts, sc2tog around (24)
Place eyes between rnd 8 and 9; 5 sts apart. Start stuffing the seed moderately firm.
  Rnd 14: back loops only for this rnd sc in next 2 sts, sc2tog around (18)
  Rnd 15: sc in next st, sc2tog around (12)
  Rnd 16: sc2tog around (6)
F/O and leave a tail for closing. Add any bits of stuffing need it to finish shaping the seed. Weave in the tail through the final round and draw up tight to close. Secure and weave in the ends.

Note: when you see a + sign it means all those stitches are supposed to be done in that one particular stitch.
LEAF starting with olive green; 2.75mm hook
  Rnd 1: ch5, sl st in 2nd ch from hook and across (4)
F/O, secure and weave in the ends. Attach the pea green yarn to the other side of the chain where we DIDN'T work the slip stitches.
  Rnd 2: ch2, dc in same st you attach, htr in next ch, dc in next ch, hdc+sc+picot st+sc+hdc in last st, other side of the foundation chains & in the back loops of the sl sts from rnd 1, dc in next st, htr in next st, dc in next st, ch2 and sl st in same st as the previous st
F/O, secure and weave in the ends.

STEM with olive green; 3.5mm hook
Fold the pipe cleaner in half and twist them together. Attach yarn to the pipe cleaner and do 7 sc around it
F/O, leave a tail to attach the leaves.

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 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.
     STEM...in the center of the budding, poke a hole with your crochet hook to be able to slide the pipe cleaner through. You can also pull the ends through using your crochet hook, like in the picture below. You'll need to shape the seed again from all the pulling.
     Cut the excess parts of the pipe cleaner and hide any visible parts into the seed. Weave the end into the seed while still leaving the other end to attach the leaves in place. The top of the pipe cleaner bent it down, so the stitches won't come out. After attaching the leaves we'll hide the visible pipe cleaner by wrapping some yarn around it.
     LEAVES... sew them unto the stem. Wrap a bit of yarn to hide the excess pipe cleaner on top.
     MOUTH...this 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.
     BLUSH...you can use pink felt and make tiny circles/ovals or you can use makeup blush and apply some on each side of the eyes. You can also embroider lines with thread.

     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 am going to be using felt, I like to first sketch it out on 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.

     ADDING HAIR to the TAIL...with black yarn cut 2 strands (4" length each). Fold a strand in half and pass it through one end of the tail and pull through a loop, pull tight. Repeat with the remaining strand. Now that we have added all the strands of hair to the tail, using a comb or wire brush and start combing every strand of hair. This would make it look like fur. Finally, trim to the desired length.
     TAIL to BODY...try to find the middle and place it in round 15 over on the back of the body.
     SNOUT...using cream felt, make a small oval. With black embroidery floss or thread, embroider 2 slanted lines in the middle for the nostrils. Place it between rounds 10 and 13.

     SPOTS...using black felt cut out different shapes. Place them around the body, in the position you like best.
     BLUSH...using pink embroidery floss or thread, embroider a line underneath the eye for the blush. You can also use pink felt and make a tiny circle or you can use makeup blush and apply some using a q-tip.

  Rnd 3: sc in next st, 2sc in next st around (18)

     TENTACLES...place them on round 18.
     EYES...I am using the rounded domed buttons since I have no crafts stores around my area that sell safety eyes. I will be placing them between round 8 and 9; approx. 1" apart.
     SMILE...using black thread or embroidery floss, embroider a smile on round 11.
     OPTIONAL…you can add a little blush underneath the eyes using makeup blush and a q-tip. Or embroider them using pink embroidery floss or thread.
     EYEBROWS...using black thread or embroidery floss, embroider them just right above the eyes on round 7. You can make these however you like, but I simply made a slanted line.
