WWSF = With Wrong Sides Facing

1. Cut felt as directed on the pattern pieces. Transfer markings with the fabric marker. Also cut a 3/4" X 7 3/4" belt of Deep Space/Black Flash Felt and two cuffs of SnowFelt/White (1/2" X 3 1/4") and a hat brim (1/2" X 6") of Snow Felt/White Flash Felt.

2. Glue the face in place on the right side of the body front. Glue the nose in place. Using six strands of Black floss, stitch French Knots in place to create the eyes. Lightly brush cheek area with blusher, if desired.

3. WWSF, pin the front and back body sections together. Using two strands of Red floss, Blanket Stitch around the sides and head, leaving the bottom open. Stuff the body to the desired plumpness. Gather stitching along the lower edge. Pull the thread tightly and tack with a few Back Stitches to secure.

5. WWSF, pin two arm sections together. Using two strands of Red floss, Blanket Stitch around the outer edge, stuffing lightly with fiber fill as you stitch. WWSF stitch two mitten sections together, leaving the straight edge open. Place mitten over the hand and stitch in place. Wrap a cuff over the edge of the mitten and glue in place. Attach to shoulder area, stitching the top of the arm in place with a button. Repeat this process for the remaining arm.
