This is a picture of major parts:
Hair:
1. Cut brown yarn about 3” long ( I cut 8-10 strings).
Rest of parts:
4. Insert yarn tail from parts to yarn needle, then find the desired spots to
sew ears to head, then arms, legs to body.
5. Use red thread needle and thread to embroidery mouth ( nose is
optional )
6. Use whip stitch to sew 2 parts together. Or, you just use your own way
to stitch 2 parts together.
8. Cut half of sock, use the top ( toe ) part as hat. Or use middle part of
sock ( tube ), tie one end to become a beanie hat.
( Sock is very stretchable, and easy to use. Instead of crocheting a hat,
why not use something different! Adult size sock is recommended.)
