How to assemble
Face
Starting with the face sew the eyes on either side of the magic circle as shown in the
picture
Next stuff the nose and sew it on just below the eyes
Then with the straight edge of the moustache sew it in a u shape under the nose
(optional)For the eyebrows using black sew two curves above the eyes using chain stitch.
push the needle through just above the eye
wrap the wool around the point of the needle, so will come through a loop of wool
pull the needle through the fabric and the loop, then gently pull the wool through
next stuff the head, then place the face inside and sew it in about two rounds in from the
open edge, make sure your stitches are not visible on the outside
Sew up most of the face then check to see if the head needs more stuffing before closing
up the hole
Frog eyes
Next sew the whites of the frogs eyes onto the green parts of the eyes
Lightly stuff the eyes and flatten them into an oval shape
Then sew them onto the top of the head 7 rounds away from the open edge and 3 stitches
apart
Next sew the head onto the body as shown in the picture, give him quite a thick neck
Feet and legs
Next lightly stuff the feet then sew up the open edge making sure the shaping matches on
both sides
Next pinch the end toes flat
Then push them up towards the middle toe and sew them in place by passing the needle
through all three toes
Next sew the open edge of the leg onto the foot
Then bend the leg in half and sew a couple of stitches to hold it in place
Sew all of the inner side of the leg to the side of the body
Hands
sew the thumb onto the side of the hand
Then sew the fingers on in order into the open edge of the hand closing the gap with
each finger
Then repeat for the second hand
Flatten the hands and bend the arm up to create a palm that lies flat
Next sew about 4cms of the top of the arm on both sides to the body making sure the
hands are facing the right way and the hands touch the ground to support the body
