Assembly & Finishing Details

1. Facial Features: Embroider sleepy or closed eyes with black thread between Rounds 14 and 15 of the head, leaving roughly 5 stitches of space between them. Sew the snout patch centered between the eyes over Rounds 12–14, then embroider a vertical mouth line beneath it.
2. Attach Ears: Securely sew the folded bases of the ears near the top center of the head using sturdy sewing thread.
3. Attach Pajamas to Head: Align the open neck of the pom-pom pajama body around Round 6 of the head. Stitch together securely by catching one head stitch and one pajama loop repeatedly around the circumference.
4. Attach Limbs: Sew the upper arms to the sides of the pajamas, about 2 rows below the neck seam. Sew the lower legs near the bottom, about 2 rows above the lower opening.
5. Pajama Drawstring: Thread the round elastic band through the spaces between stitches along the top/bottom opening of the pajamas. Thread both exposed ends of the elastic through your locking slider, tie a secure knot at the ends, and push the knot inside the pajamas to keep it hidden.
