Smile:

Start in Dark Brown

Place the yarn we left under the toy’s nose onto your needle. Insert needle where shown (Pic 1), and bring needle out at the middle under the toy’s nose (Pic 2). Insert needle on the right side of the toy’s mouth where shown (Pic 3). Pull needle out a few stitches away. Tie the remaining end of yarn into a firm knot, bring the knot inside the toy to hide. This will help secure the smile. Cut any excess yarn.

Teeth:

In White

Insert needle with thread under the toy’s mouth, then bring the needle to the left side of the toy’s mouth (Pic 1). Repeat the process of *inserting needle into the middle of the toy’s mouth, bring needle out at the same stitch on the left side of the toy’s mouth (Pic 1)*. Do this a total of 3 times (Pic 1-2). Repeat this process for the right side of the toy’s mouth, you will end up with a small separation between the two teeth!
