Assembly
- Sew on the ears between R 4 and R 7 on the sides of the head.
- Insert and glue the eyes between R 8 and R 9 at a distance of 5-6 sc.
- Sew on the muzzle between R 9 and R 12, embroider a nose in the middle with a pink thread.
- Sew on the head on 4-6 rows of the body using the remaining thread.
- Sew on the legs: front legs on 5-7 rows of the body, hind legs on 13-15 rows of the body. I recommend to attach the legs with pins before sewing to check if the kitten is steady.
- Sew on the tail at the back of the cat, hdc stitches look up.
- Embroider stripes or whiskers on the muzzle. The tabby cat has stripes on the forehead on 3-5 rows, on the sides between R 8 and R 9 and between R 10 and R 11. The black cat has whiskers on 10th and 11th rows and between them.
- Collar: make 17 ch (or a different amount needed for your toy), tie around the neck, weave in the ends inside the toy.
