Assembly:
If you use safety eyes, embroider light eye with 6-strand white cotton yarn and embroider eyebrows with black embroidery thread. If you do not use safety eyes, embroider eyes as seen in photo tutorial using black and white embroidery thread and aqua cotton yarn.
Sew tail on the lower side of the body. Between rounds 43 and 52 of the body.
Sew legs at the bottom of the body. Between rounds 53 and 57.
Sew spots where you like the most. I opted to do it in the front, right part of the body.
