For body (Sock No. 1) follow the basic instructions on page 7 and above.
FORELEGS: Cut about 4″ long, turn inside out, seam along one side and
across the foot (Figure 1). Stuff and sew to body about ½″ apart. To
keep arms from sagging, insert wires while stuffing. (See page 33 for
tips on wiring.)
FEATURES: For the nose, embroider a solid “V” in pink yarn. Three
stitches with black yarn makes the mouth (Figure 2). Sew on bright
buttons, spaced well apart, for eyes. Add a few curved stitches in black
for curly eyelashes. Insert broom straws or brush bristles for whiskers.
EARS: Cut two petal-shaped ears, 6″ long, from sock and two from pink
felt (Figure 3). Sew sock and felt pieces together on the wrong side,
leaving an opening for turning. Double two 12″ lengths of wire into
petal shapes and insert in each ear, fastening at base of ear. Sew to
sides of head with pink side forward. Pleat the felt to incline the ears
forward.
TAIL: Mold a fairly large ball of cotton or use a white yarn pom pom.
TRIM: Use the prettiest bow you have and dot it with sequins and tiny
spring flowers.
