Assembly

Stuff the Head firmly before closing it. Do not stuff the Ears. Stuff the Muzzle lightly. Stuff the Body lightly so it keeps its cone shape and stands on its open edge.
Sew the head to the body between Rnds 9 and 10. The closed end of the head (its last rounds) on the body's point, centred, the magic ring at the top, the body standing on its open edge.
Sew the ears to the head at Rnd 3. One on each side of the top of the head, open end flattened, points standing straight up.
Sew the muzzle to the head between Rnds 6 and 8. Centred on the front, below where the eyes go, stuffed lightly, pointing forward.
Embroider the small black nose in satin stitch on the muzzle around Rnds 1-2 with colour D. In the middle of the muzzle.
Embroider the two yellow eyes on the head at Rnd 5 with colour F. On the front, just above the muzzle, about 4 stitches apart.
Embroider the two little fangs on the head at Rnd 9 with colour E. Just under the muzzle, one short straight stitch down on each side of the centre, about 2 stitches apart.
Thread a length of colour A through the magic ring at the top of the Head and tie into a hanging loop.
Weave in all ends.
