Head

At this point, sew each arm at the side between Round 7 to Round 12 of the body using whip stitch method (total of 12 whip sts from front to back of each arm).

Round 4: sc around

Round 5: sc around

Round 6: [sc 2, dec] 6 times (18 sts)

Sew the white buttons at this point between Round 5 and Round 6 of head. Once done continue to next steps to complete the head.

Lastly, cut out some zigzag ric rac lace ribbon then place on both arms and legs as shown on photos using fabric glue.
