Hello
Love the bear & your directions are great. I do have a question. When you say to sew the face for more definition, not sure what you mean? Can you please help?
Thanks!
Bette
Hi Bette, great question! So this is optional but I like to add a little definition to the face. What this means is to bring the sides of the face in, thus creating chubbier looking cheeks. To do this, insert needle with yellow thread into the right side of the head, and pull out of the opposite side of the head (the left side). Reinsert the needle one stitch over, and pull the needle out one stitch over on the right side of the head. So you’re pulling the needle out very close to where you originally inserted it. Pull both ends of yarn firmly to get the face definition. Tie a knot with the ends of the yarn and weave the ends into the head.
I hope that helps you out! Please feel free to let me know if I can clarify anything, or if you need any more help. Happy crocheting 🙂
