FEET
1 The small rows of purl sts mark the separation between the
toes. Using Yarn B work sts to define these. Using image as a
guide, sew on Large and Small pads.
2 Sew on Ears, folding as shown in image and leaving the tip
unattached. Sew on Flowers and using Dark Grey yarn
embroider on eyes and mouth, using image as a guide.
3 Join left shoulder and neckband seams of sweater, fold
Sleeves in half lengthwise and place stitch marker, use this
stitch marker to line the centre of the Sleeve top with the
shoulder seam, pin Sleeve into place. Sew side and Sleeve
seams.
4 Weave in ends and gently block to measurements, following
any yarn care instructions on the ball band.STEP-BY-STEP SSK SLIP, SLIP, KNIT
1 Working with the yarn at the back
of your knitting, insert the point of
the right-hand needle into the next
stitch as if to knit, but instead slip
the first stitch onto the right-hand
needle.2 Now slip the next stitch from the
left-hand needle onto the
right-hand needle
in the same way as for step 1.3 Push the point of the left-hand
needle through the front of both the
slipped stitches.4 Bring the yarn around just as you
would for a knit stitch and knit
these two stitches together. You
will now have a single stitch on the
right-hand needle, and your two
slipped ones will create a
left-leaning decrease.
