Assembly
Eyes
Place eyes on the face piece, centered with 2 sts between them. The top edge of the eyes should cover Rnd 3 at the top and Rnd 1 at the bottom. Eyes will be just slightly above the horizontal centerline.
Sew using sewing tails from eyes, working in a mattress stitch so the unfinished last round is visible.
Eyebrows
Align eyebrows over eyes so that the tip of the center point is between the eyes, just covering the Foundation Row of the face. The top edges of the eyebrows should touch Rnd 6, where the rolled edge of the bowl begins.
Sew using the sewing tail along top edges and along the starting chain (top, inside edge of ‘V’). Weave the end back to the tip of ‘V’ and tack down the tip between the eyes. Do not sew along the underside of ‘V’.
Nostrils
Align nostrils so the unfinished last round is facing up and the flat bottom edge is touching Row 6 of the face, where the rolled edge of the bowl begins. Center on the face with 3 sts between. Nostrils will be slightly wider apart than eyes.
Using the sewing tail from nostrils, attach nostrils to Rnd 6 of the face in a straight line across the flat edge. Do not sew down the arched outside edge of the nostrils. Allow them to stick up away from the bowl.
Horns
Align horns on the outside of the rolled edge, along Rnd 9. Center horns on face with 8 sts between them.
Using the sewing tail from horns, sew through both layers of the last round of horns to attach to Rnd 9 on the outside of the bowl.
Wings
Lay wings on a table next to one another, fanning downward, with the inside tips touching, forming a 90-degree angle where they touch. The center tips of the wings will be level with one another. Lay the bowl on top of the wings so that the horns are level with the center tips of the wings. Center so that wings stick out on either side of the bowl, showing 1 ½ of the 3 SPG sections.
Using a scrap of GRN or SPG, sew the wing to the back of the bowl along the edge of the bowl and tack down any floppy wing so the glasses holder lays flat.
Weave in all attachment ends when parts are positioned as desired.
