FROG ASSEMBLY

1. Sew the cheeks between Rows 3 and 6 (we are not counting the sc we did all around the body).
2. With black yarn, sew a line going from the mr of the left cheek to the mr of the right cheek.
3. Starting a row below the line we sewed, insert the needle in the closest space to the left cheek and then go over the line and insert it in the same space again. Repeat until you get to the space next to the right cheek. This will make the mouth smiley.

4. Sew the arms 1-2 rows below the cheeks.

5. Put the back and front pieces of the body together with the right side facing out. Slip stitch through both. Stuff lightly before closing the body completely.

6. Using only the BLO of the front piece and the FLO of the back piece, sew the eyes on either side of the body. Once the white part is in place, sew the shank buttons using white thread.

BUNNY ASSEMBLY

1. With black yarn, sew the eyes on Row 4 (not counting the sc going around the body), 5 sts apart.
2. Sew the eye detail with white yarn.
3. With Taupe, sew the nose in the 3 middle stitches. The horizontal line is sewn in the same spaces as the bottom of the eyes. Once the horizontal line is sewn, sew a line going down 2 rows.
4. Sew the cheeks below the eyes.
5. Sew the arms below the cheeks.
6. Sew the tail to the back piece.
7. Just like we did with the frog, put the back and front pieces of the body together with the right side facing out. Slip stitch through both. Stuff lightly before closing the body completely.

8. Sew both ears on the right side using only the BLO of the front piece and the FLO of the back piece.

PIG ASSEMBLY

1. With black yarn, sew the eyes on Row 4 (not counting the sc going around the body), 5 sts apart.
2. Sew the eye detail with white.
3. Sew the muzzle between the eyes. The top of the muzzle should be sewn to the same spaces as the bottom of the eyes.
4. Sew the arms a row below the muzzle.
5. Sew the tail to the back piece.
6. Just like we did with the frog, put the back and front pieces of the body together with the right side facing out. Slip stitch through both. Stuff lightly before closing the body completely.
7. Using only the BLO of the front piece and the FLO of the back piece, sew the ears in place.
8. OPTIONAL: Add color to the cheeks with blush and a cotton swab.
