Attach the Ears: Sew the ears diagonally to the top sides of the head. Place them spanning Rounds 2, 3, and 4, about 4 stitches away from the eyes on either side.
Attach the Arms: Sew the flat arms diagonally to the sides of the body, starting about one stitch away from the eye and spanning two rounds downwards.
Facial Embroidery:
Thread your needle with black embroidery floss.
Embroider a small, filled-in triangle nose right between and slightly below the eyes (on the snout bump).
Stitch a small, straight vertical line down from the nose to make the mouth.
Add tiny, slanted eyebrows just above the eyes for a sweet expression.
Blush: Use a little makeup brush or a cotton swab to apply a tiny bit of pink blush underneath the eyes for cheeks, and inside the center of the little cat ears.
Attach Keychain: Sew your keychain ring securely to the very top center of the head (Round 1).
