Whiskers (make 6)

You’re going to weave six separate pieces of yarn through the front of the face to get the whisker affect. Tie each end of the yarn in a knot onto the inside of your work.

Nose

Make it the same way you made the whiskers except with yellow yarn.

Eyes (make 2)

Cut two small oval pieces of black felt and sew them onto the appropriate places

[I’d plan on making the eyes out of needle and thread or buttons if you plan on washing this cozy]

Sewing Time

Sew on the bow to the head below the ear with needle and thread, or with some of the red Sugar 'n Cream yarn if you'd like.







You're Finished :)

P.S.- The eyes in the photo tutorial are made with yarn rather than felt as in the first photo.
