4. Assembly
Eyes: Place the 4mm safety eyes into the bobble stitches (R3). Secure with felt glue or adhesive of your choice.
Preparation: Before sewing the arms and legs, weave the yarn tail for sewing to the top of the arm/leg. This allows the limb to be evenly sewn to the body.
Arms: Sew the arms between rows 10-11. The arms should be 1 stitch behind the eyes.
Legs: Sew the legs horizontally across rows 19-21. The legs should align with the arms.
Optional Finishing
Blush: Use a strand of pink yarn and a needle. Pull the needle out between rows 4-5 directly next to the eye. Sew over the stitch twice to create the appearance of blush. Repeat on the other side.
Accessory: Add a bow tie or other accessory to your Fribbit!
Congratulations on completing your Fribbit! Let me know if you have any questions about the instructions or assembly.
