For body (Sock No. 1) follow the basic instructions on pages 7 and 13.
FRONT LEGS: See Bunny’s front legs on page 13.
FEATURES: To make nose, pinch part of face into a little ball and wind
yarn around it. For pouchy cheeks, use nylon thread or very strong white
thread, and baste a circle on each side of the nose and ending just
under the nose (Figure 1). Pluck stuffing into puffs in the middle of
these circles for cheeks. Tighten stitching to hold cheeks in place.
Embroider mouth with red yarn and add small brown buttons for eyes. Use
broom straws or brush bristles for whiskers, pushing them through sides
of face.
EARS: Cut two pointed ears from sock and two from felt (Figure 2). Sew
sock and felt pieces together, leaving an opening for turning. Turn and
sew to top sides of head. Pleat felt.
TAIL: Sew a thin strip of sock about 6″ long. Insert a wire and bend to
shape (Figure 3). Sew to body. Use brown pom poms or jersey loopers to
build up a bushy tail. Make squirrel’s tail somewhat bushier than the
chipmunk’s.
STRIPES: Sew strips of black fur or felt down back of chipmunk only,
spacing them about ½″ apart.
