Whiskers and white fleck in each eye are sewn on using white yarn (Bernat Softee Chunky)
and a yarn needle.
Assembly:
The ears can be assembled as ‘upright’ or as ‘floppy’ ears,
depending on how you attach them to the top of the hat. The construction of the ears will allow them
to stand upright without inserting any other substance inside.
When stitching the pieces together I stitch between the
posts of sc round and the final ss round (it tends to hide the stitches within
the work).
Before stitching them to the hat, I count stitches from the
middle of the hat to try to ensure that they are evenly placed. You can use bits of yarn to mark placement
(or safety pins).

ReplyDeleteHi Rosalyn, I'm so happy you liked the pattern!
DeleteI'm also happy that you decided to make some for the craft fair. That is a big decision and a lot of work. I would love if anyone asks you for the pattern, if you would direct them to my blog, or facebook.
If you have any photos of any you have completed and are willing to share them with me - I would be very grateful - I've only had one person send me a photo so far. If you send any, let me know if it is ok for me to post them on my blog/facebook or if you would like me to keep them private.
Best of luck on the craft fair!
You are most welcome for the pattern.
