Cut yarn, leaving a ‘tail’  to use for joining

Thread the tail into a sewing needle, pull it through all remaining stitches and gather together

Fasten off securely.

Join side seam most of the way – leaving an opening. Fill with polyester stuffing. Sew the rest of the seam closed. Gather the cast on stitches together, and fasten off securely.

Darn away ends.
