3- Flatten the top of each arm and sew them to the sides of the body, on round 10.
4- Flatten the top of each leg and sew them to the bottom of the body, positioning them between the top of round 1 and the bottom of round 3.
Embroidering the face
Nose: Using your darning needle and pink yarn, make a âvâ shape for the nose in the middle of the face, with the point of the v in the magic circle.
