Face Embroidery

Now for the most important part—bringing your bunny to life!

1. Using black yarn, embroider two small eyes. French knots work beautifully for this, or you can use a simple satin stitch for a flatter look. Position the eyes about 4-5 stitches apart, centered on the face, roughly at the level of Rnd 10-11.
2. Using pink or black yarn, embroider a tiny nose. A small triangle or oval shape works well, positioned just below the eyes.
3. Add a small mouth using black or pink yarn. A simple "V" shape or a tiny smile is perfect.
4. Important: Make sure all facial features are sewn securely, especially if this is a gift for a child.

Assembly

Now it's time to bring all your hard work together!

1. Sew the head to the body: Using the long tail left on the body, sew the head to the body, making sure the dress is positioned correctly (the head should cover the top edge of the dress).
2. Attach the arms: Sew the arms to the sides of the body, positioning them so they stick out slightly.
3. Attach the legs: Sew the legs to the bottom of the body, making sure the bunny can sit upright.
4. Attach the tail: Sew the tail to the back of the body.
5. Attach the ears: Sew the ears to the top of the head, curving them slightly.
6. Attach the bow: Sew the bow to one of the ears.
7. Weave in all ends: Use your yarn needle to hide any remaining yarn tails inside the bunny.
