This is where I stop and work on the facial features:
*Attach 9mm safety eyes(I attach in the middle and with about 9 stitches inbetween)
*Embroider mouth.
*Stuff.
Rnd. 21-*sc dec then sc in next 1 stitch* repeat around(12sc)
Finish stuffing, so you can shape it to a nice circle shape.
Rnd. 22- sc dec in every stitch around (6sc)
Fasten off, I weave my yarn tail in and out of every stitch(6sc) then gently pull inorder to completely close the hole up. Weave in tail.
Legs(make 8)
Do not join rounds; work in a continuous spiral
Magic circle; 6 sc in circle
Rnd.1- 2 sc in each sc (12sc)
1 sc in each stitch until you get your tube to be the size you want it to be.
Attach all legs to bottom of body. Sc the top of the legs to close them and join all 8 legs together like a band. Attach the band to the body. Let me know if you find a better way.
