Assembly & Finishing Touches
Hat Assembly & Details:
Sew the two tiny brown ears onto the upper sides of the white hat dome.
Sew the small brown knob to the top center of the hat.
Using dark brown embroidery thread, stitch two tiny dot eyes and a mini inverted “T” or “Y” muzzle onto the white dome to create the cute companion face.
Position the completed beret centered on top of Pompompurin’s head (around Rounds 2–6) and stitch down securely.
Attaching Floppy Ears:
Position the floppy yellow ears on either side of the head, just below the beret brim (around Rounds 6–8). Sew the bases firmly so they droop downward naturally.
Attaching Limbs & Tail:
Arms: Sew to the sides of the body around Rounds 10–11, angled slightly forward.
Legs: Sew to the bottom front of the body around Rounds 18–19, pointing forward/downward to allow the pup to “sit.”
Tail: Sew centered on the lower back around Round 18.
Facial & Body Embroidery:
Eyes: Using dark brown yarn or embroidery floss, stitch two small horizontal/oval eyes on the face (around Round 10), spaced roughly 5–6 stitches apart.
Muzzle: Stitch a small brown nose between the eyes with a sweet, wide inverted “Y” mouth.
The Asterisk (Butt Detail): On the lower backside right above the tail, embroider a small dark-brown asterisk (*) using 3 intersecting straight stitches.
Mini Pouch Face: Embroider two tiny eyes and a simple beak/nose on the yellow bag.
Crossbody Bag & Rosy Cheeks:
Drape the mini bag diagonally across one shoulder so it rests beside one arm. Secure it with a small stitch.
Apply soft pink blush beneath the eyes on both Pompompurin and his tiny hat friend using a cotton swab.
Keychain Attachment:
Securely stitch your pearl strap or keychain ring to the top of the head behind the beret.
