Finishing and Assembly

1. Position the eyes between rows 11–12 of the head as indicated and secure them according to the type of eyes you chose (safety eyes, beads with mounts, or embroidered eyes).
2. Sew the muzzle onto the head between rows 12 and 18 as noted in the pattern. Embroider the nose and mouth using thin cotton yarn as desired.
3. Attach the ears to the sides/top of the head, aligning them symmetrically.
4. Sew the arms and legs to the body in positions that look natural for your toy. Use the rounds as reference to center placement.
5. Stuff each part firmly but not overfilled to keep shape and allow seams to sit flat. Close all openings and weave in ends securely.

Safety & Tips

- If the toy is intended for babies or very young children, use embroidered eyes or securely mounted safety eyes to avoid choking hazards. The pattern suggests 4 mm eyes if using mounted beads.
- Use consistent tension to keep stitch counts accurate and make pieces fit together easily.
- Adjust yarn weight and hook size if you prefer a larger or smaller finished bear; note that gauge changes will affect stitch counts and final size.
- Label the finished toy with care instructions if gifting.
