Assembly

Make any adjustments before sewing on. Start with sewing on the head. Then sew on limbs.

Details

Sew on face details and eyes before sewing on ears and hat. This will make sure that the placement is perfect 🙂

Insert 3mm eyes around row 7 of the head. Place the eyes about 4 stitches apart. Once you are happy with placement of eyes, remove eyes and insert red yarn going between the two eyes. Now insert thread going back between the two eyes, about 1 st over. Pull thread, this creates a more defined face. Reinsert eyes. (I glue them in)

Now using black embroidery yarn, sew tilted eyebows 2 stitches above the eyes.

Using black embroidery yarn, sew a triangle nose at the tip of the nose. After creating the nose, create a line going from of the tip of the triangle down to make a little mouth.

Now you can sew on ears and hat.

Belly

To give a defined belly button, go from the back of the bear and insert red yarn, going to the belly button area of the bear. Now about 1 st to the left, reinsert yarn going to the same area on the back of the bear. Pull thread and make a knot. Hide knot by leaving a tail and sewing the tail into the bear.

Seeds

Take a darker yellow yarn and create 3 arrows on the bear. These will look like strawberry seeds.
