Notes

SCARF
Using mustard (or your chosen scarf colour), working in rows, chain 120 and starting in the 3rd chain from the hook;
Row 1: 118 hdc, ch 2, turn
Row 2: 118 hdc, ch 1 for the corner and 2 sc along the short edge to bring you to the other side of the starting chain, ch 2
Row 3: 118 hdc
F/O and weave in ends.
EARS & EYE DETAIL
Attach the ears between rounds 17/18 of the stripe. Mark the
position with pins; 2 stitches up from the lower edge and 1 stitch in
from the upper edge.
Attach the ears on both sides of the head so that they are slightly
curved (the mid section is attached one stitch further back to the
outer edges to create the curve). Secure ends and weave in tails.
Once you have attached the ears, add the whites of the eyes as
shown in Pic. 34. You can add eyebrows one stitch above and
slightly back from the eye (see main image)
LEGS (CONT.)
Using the yarn end you attached the legs with; secure each leg to the body going through rounds 13/14 of the leg, and round 8/9 of the body (see Pic. 41). This is to ensure the legs sit snuggly against the body when sitting.
