To complete without stuffing (as in the pic above) ~

~ Fold in half and sew around. (I sewed it with right sides facing  - left a little gap to turn it right side out and closed the little gap).  

 

To complete with stuffing ~

~ Fold in half and sew around. (Sew it with right sides facing  - leave a little gap, turn it right side out, add a little polyester toy stuffing, and close the little gap). 

 

Add a ribbon bow around the neck if desired

 

If you wish to add features ~

Create ears by using a length of the yarn and by sewing a line across the top of the head at each side.

Add features to the face with a darker colour.

I couldn't resist making him a little friend!
