Mr 6

Ss into first st and tie off, leaving a long tail for sewing.


Bow:

In red

Into a magic ring loop, place a ch 2, 4 dc, ch 2. Ss into mr and repeat. Pull the tail to tighten mr and leave a long tail for sewing. Wrap the tail around the center of the bow a few times to give it that classic bow shape.



Assembly:

  • Start by attaching the head to the body, sewing through both loops of the last row of either piece. I like to pin the head first to be sure I’ve got it exactly how I want it before sewing it down.

  • Pin the eyes to the top of the head so they look slightly cross-eyed. I do not have exact places I put the eyes, I feel like it’s different on every plush, so I just pin them until I’m happy with how they look and then I sew them down.

  • Pin the blush spots about two rows under the eyes and then sew them down and embroider the mouth in a V shape.

  • Lastly, attach the bow in the very middle of the neck/chest area.

That’s it! Now you have your very own Keroppi plush friend!!
