Attaching with thread vs. yarn tail
For a cleaner look, I opted to cut a short tail, weave it in, and attach a few of the pieces with matching thread. I did this with the snout, mane and belly. However, it’s totally up to you and will look cute either way!
Optional: Skip arm & leg pads
Instead of attaching separate arm and leg pads, you can simply start with cream yarn for
rounds 1 – 3 on the arms, and rounds 1 – 4 on the legs, then switch to yellow yarn for the
remaining rounds. I prefer the look of the separate pads, but skipping them is definitely
easier.
How to indent the eyes
Note: The video above shows a unicorn, but the technique is the same for all of my
patterns. My newer patterns indicate exactly where you should place your safety eyes, and
instruct you to mark those stitches accordingly. This is one of my older patterns and it
doesn’t indicate where to place the eyes. I plan to update my older patterns when I have a
chance, but for now use your best judgement. Step 1 – Cut a strand of yarn approximately
18″ long. Tie a large, secure knot in one end and thread the other end through your yarn
needle.Step 2 – Insert your needle through the back opening of the head and sew between
the two spots where you’ll be placing your safety eyes.Step 3 – Pull your
strand of yarn taut, which will create indents.Step 4 – Fasten off with a knot and hide
your yarn tail inside the head.
