- Place the ears at the end of R3 spanning till the end of R8 on either sides of the head.
- If using flatback beads, place them between R10 and R11.
- Embroider the mouth and add in whiskers. For the mouth embroider a inverted v shape and a small straight line over that. Sew the whiskers one stitch apart from the side of the eyes.
- Place the forelegs at R14-15 on either sides.
- Place the hind legs a little slanting at R20-21 on either sides.
- Take a strand of lavender colour yarn and sew the stripes on forehead stripes from R2 to R6 and sewed the two side stripes at R15 and R17 of the body.
- Finally attach the tail at the back. I placed them between R21 and R22.
