The body will be slightly slanted forward, so keep that in mind when assembling
Ears
stuff lightly and sew onto each side of the head, 4 rows wide (R3-4, 8-9)
Head
• sew the head slightly behind the last round of the body
• I like to tilt the body until the arms touch the floor, and attach the head to wherever it sits straight
Legs
Sew 4-5 visible stitches apart (they will be facing slightly outwards)
• 4 rows high (R3-4, 7-8)
• make sure the toes are pointing up
Tail
sew onto the body 2 rows wide (R6-8). The curve should be facing up!
Head bow
Sew onto the hair, or if you created a band, squeeze it through the hair
Large bow
1. With some yarn, sinch the middle of piece 1 to create a bow, and tighten with a knot.
2. Take piece 2, and wrap the thicker side of the band around the center of piece 1, and sew the band closed.
3. Make sure the thinner band is aligned with the middle of the bow. You now have a bow with a unattached collar.
4. Wrap the thin band around Marie’s neck, and use the yarn tail to attach it back behind the bow.
Facial Parts
Mouth
1. Embroider an upside-down V shape around R11
2. On the same row as the tip of the V, embroider a nose 2 stitches wide. I embroidered around 3-4 strands!
Eyes
if you are using felt for the eyes, cut them out and attach them around R9-10
ref: Here are the shapes I cut out for the eyes:
