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 have not already stuff them lightly. Place them between round 18 and 19; approx 1.25" apart.

     ARMS...no need to stuff them. Align them to the feet and place them on round 13 and 14.

     EARS...there is no need to stuff them, simply flatten them out. Place them in round 2 and 4. The right ear bend it a bit down, sew it in place.

     COLLAR...place it between round 12 and 13, where the 2 colors meet. You will be leaving 5 stitches in the front.

     FLOWER...place it on the left ear and sew it in place.

     TAIL...find the center of the back of the body and place it between round 16 and 17.

     FACE...using white felt, make a rounded rectangle, and place it between rounds 7 and 11.

     EYES...using black felt, make 2 small rounded rectangles and place them in the position you like best.

     NOSE...using yellow felt, make a rounded rectangle, and place it in the position you like best.

     BLUSH...add a little blush underneath the eyes using makeup blush and a q-tip. Or you can use pink felt.

     FEET...try to find the position you like best. I place mine between round 17 and 18; approx. 0.50" apart. Only sew the 2 last rows from the feet (the flat area) to the body.

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

     EARS...there's no need to stuff them, simply flatten them out. Place them on round 4 and 5. Using a q-tip and makeup blush, applied some on the center of the ear like in the picture below. If you don't have any blush, you can also use light pink embroidery floss, thread or yarn.

     FLOWER...sew it in place on either side of the ear.

     TAIL...using a pom-pom maker (size: 1-3/8”) or if you don't have one theirs several ways on how to make them, for example, using cardboard. Be sure to trim it the most that you’re able to so it can be as tiny as possible. Using the ends from the pom-pom, sew it in place on the center back between round 15 and 16.

     NOSE...using light pink embroidery floss, thread or yarn; embroider the nose however you like the possibilities are endless.
