Assembling

To assemble anything in crochet I always use sewing pins to position all parts first, this way you can easily move things around until you are happy. The you can sew it on.
Start with the base part of the flower, around it you will put the petals. Sew them tot he base at the bottom, and along the sides where the petals meet each other.
Then sew the body to the flower. And add his legs and arms.
Last, sew on a mouth and you are done!

I hope you enjoyed this pattern! I can imagine a whole bunch together, how cute would that be in all different colors and such, aww *_*. I deffinitely wanna make some more when I have time! I would love to see yours when you made one or a few!

Have a wonderful day!

Love
