- Pin eyes over rounds 4-9 of the head. There should be 9 sts across the middle of the head from eye to eye on round 4.
- With white yarn and needle, add a white strip to the side of each eye to make them pop!
- Pin front legs over rounds 8-16 of the body. There should be 3 sts visible between each leg in the middle on round 16 of the body.
- When sewing your legs into place, start on round 8 of the leg and weave your needle through the leg and body.
- Make sure to keep the leg flat to the body when sewing. Work your way around to the other side of round 8 on the leg.
- Fasten off and weave in end.
- Each back leg is pinned at either side of the front legs. From the top of the front leg, there should be 3 sts visible on the body between the front and back leg.
- With needle and yarn, start on round 4 of the back leg. Weave needle through leg and body over the next 4 sts across, work your way down the side of the leg until you reach round 8 of the back leg.
- You want to make sure the legs are flush against the body when sewing them into place.
- Push needle through the body until you reach the other side of round 8. Work your way back up, until you are back where you started.
- Fasten off and weave in end.
