Assembly:
- Place the safety eyes into the bobble stitches, secure with adhesive of your choice!
- Before sewing the arms and legs to the body, weave in the loose yarn ends. (Do not weave in the yarn tail for sewing)
- Weave the yarn tail for sewing to the top of the arm. This allows the arm to be evenly sewn to the body. Repeat this step for the legs!
- Sew the arms between rows 10-11. The arms should be 1 stitch behind the eyes!
- Sew the legs horizontally across rows 19-21. The legs should align with the arms!
- (Optional) The final step to finishing your plush is adding blush. Begin with a strand of pink yarn, enter your needle into a random stitch near the eye. Pull the needle out between rows 4-5 directly next to the eye, sew over the stitch twice to create the appearance of blush. Repeat on the other side!
- (Optional) You can also add an accessory like a bow tie to your Fribbit!
