Finishing and assembling the toy

• Sew the head to the body.
• Embroider the nose between the 12th and 13th rows. Using peach thread, first make three horizontal stitches across two stitches. Then wrap the stitches with 6-8 vertical wraps. Hold each wrap with your finger so it lays smoothly.
• With smooth thread matching the main yarn, sew the ears between the 4th and 5th rows of the head.
• Embroider the eyes with brown thread.
• Sew on the bows and straps.
• Sew on the tail so the bunny can sit, leaning on it.

Plush Dreams Bunny is ready!
