2. Position the Arms: Wrap the arms around the carrot and sew them to the front of the body, overlapping the carrot slightly for a hugging effect.
3. Embroider the Face: Using black yarn, embroider two small eyes on the head. With pink yarn, embroider a small triangular nose just below the eyes. You can also add a small smile if you wish.
4. Add a Hanging Loop (Optional): If you'd like to hang your bunny, create a small loop of cream yarn at the top of the head and secure it well.
