** Braids (for all sizes) **
Cut 18 pieces of yarn (9 for each earflap) about 30 inches long. (You can do the braids all in one color or use 3 different colors for turquoise, white and light gray). Fold each bunch in half and push the folded end through an opening in the bottom of each earflap. Pull the unfolded ends through the loop and pull tight. Separated the colors and braid the strands. At the end, trim to desired length and tie a knot to secure the braid. Complete the second braid the same way.
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 in the end from the finish pieces to sew them in place but I personally like to use matching thread).
EARS…sew the top portion and a little bit of the sides between round 4 and 5. Pin them first and see how you like them best.
Spot for the eye…use any scrap of fabric you might have laying around. Same as the mouth, draw a template, cut it out, tape it on the felt and cut it out. I use the “Fray Check Glue” all over the spot so as time goes by it won’t start coming undone. Glue it just above the mouth on either side that you would like it at.
EYES…sew a button on top of the spot and the other just on the other side. Make sure before you sew them in place that their evenly place.
