  Step 9

  Once you’ve got your body assembled, embroider on your face. I used DK wool for the eyes, but use your favourite method – felt, safety eyes, whatever. Make it your own.

  Step 10

  Finally add some hair. To see how to do this particular hair style, see my blog here:

  It's a bit hard to summarise into a few boxes on CO+K!

• Step 11

  Edit your base however you wish, and be sure to post your version so that I can see it! You’re welcome to post online/sell any creations as your own too, just give me co-design credit and don’t repost this pattern anywhere (feel free to post patterns for the additions you make but link back here for the base pattern).
