Sew ears on bunny head, for this fold the ear in half and sew it on to the Bunny head.

Face features Bunny:
Use black thread for the eyes with one Swiss darning stitch each 4 stitches apart and sew on the nose and mouth with yarn thread. Use pink thread for the cheeks with 3 Swiss darning stitches on each side.

Face Features Chicken:
Use black thread and work 1 Swiss darning stitch each for the eyes 4 stitches apart, use orange thread and work nose 2 rows further down, 2 full Swiss darning stitches and one half on both sides. (only work one leg of the stitch instead of the whole v), work 2 full Swiss darning stitches one row further down and again 2 half v’s in the 3rd row of the nose.

Work a Pom Pom in orange and attach on the head.

Swiss Darning: (stitch on to the piece, start always in the middle of the little v and work up 1 leg underneath the loop and down the other leg)

POM POM:
I have used an ordinary fork for the Pom Pom and wrapped the thread around 15 x 20 times, I wouldn`t recommend more times as it would get to big.

Use the thread with was used to tie to attach to the piece, I used 1 thread and pulled the needle through the piece, got the second one and did the same in another loop so the Pom is attached securely
