Assembly

* Place safety eyes roughly between Rows 12-13, roughly 12 stitches apart.

* Sew or glue cheeks in desired location, using picture as a guide.

* Use embroidery floss or puff paint to create mouth.

* Align Virginia State halves so ends of rows match. Single crochet around both pieces to join together. Stuff with Poly-Fil prior to completing stitching. Make sure you work in a counter-clockwise direction so your stitches face forward.
