For each colour Ch 36, in 4th stitch from hook 2dc, then do 3dc in each stitch along the chain. Tie off

Joining together

It is best to make up the face before you join the front and the back of the cushion together

Eyes

First sew the white circles onto the black circles at the edge of the black circle

Adding cushion insert

We will sc the cushion together using the Champagne White yarn. Sc round with the cushion front
facing you. Start at bottom right at the edge of the pink nose and work round, remember to add
your cushion insert before you finish sewing up.

You can now sew in place the ears and horn, then add the hair strands starting from one side of the
horn and gradually work around and down towards the right ear with each strand.
