Final Assembly & Finishing Touches

1. Head & Body: Align the neck openings of the head and body. Stitch them together securely using a yarn needle, adding extra fiberfill right before closing the seam to prevent a floppy neck.
2. Ears: Flatten the base of each ear and sew them symmetry-wise to the upper crown of the head.
3. Arms: Attach the arms to the sides of the body just below the neck seam.
4. Facial Details: Use black embroidery floss to stitch a simple nose, mouth line, or delicate eyelashes around the eyes.
5. Styling: Wrap the cozy knitted scarf around the bunny’s neck, and apply a light dab of real blush to the cheeks for a sweet winter glow!
