    • First Loop: Chain 3, work 2 double crochets into the ring, chain 3, slip stitch into the ring.

    • Second Loop: Chain 3, work 2 double crochets into the ring, chain 3, slip stitch into the ring.

Assembly & Facial Detailing Guide

  1. Attaching Head to Body:

    • Align the open neck of the body (12 stitches) with the bottom center of the head.

    • Whipstitch firmly stitch-for-stitch around the neckline using your tapestry needle. Add a small pinch of extra fiberfill into the neck joint right before closing to keep the head steady.

  2. Attaching the Ears:

    • Pin the ears symmetrically on the upper left and right sides of the head (spanning roughly between Rounds 3 and 6).

    • Sew along the base of each ear, making sure they angle slightly outward.

  3. Attaching the Bow:

    • Stitch the brown bow securely right in front of Kitty’s right ear (on your left-hand side when looking directly at her face).

  4. Embroidering the Face:

    • Nose: Using yellow embroidery thread, stitch a small horizontal oval centered between the eyes, one round lower than the eye line.

    • Whiskers: Using black embroidery thread, make two short horizontal stitches on each cheek, extending outward.

    • Eyes (if not using plastic eyes): Stitch two small vertical oval dots using black embroidery floss on Round 8, spaced 6 stitches apart.

  5. Rosy Cheeks:

    • Dip a small makeup brush or cotton swab into pink cosmetic blush and gently apply soft circular blush marks directly beneath each eye.
