Fold the arms up (with some filling in - I just used a bit of white wool) and sew together, bending at the elbow (rows:10-14). Sew 2 black lines on the hand to make fingers.

With black yarn co 15
Row 1: K
Row 2: P
Row 3: bind off.

Sew this around the shoulder (I guess??) of the arm- it makes it look neater when you sew the arm onto the body.

Sew on Hands, shoulder and eyes. Sew half of the back onto the bullet, fill with beans, and sew up! Weave in ends!!

I love sharing! WOO! But please give credit where credit's due and don't try to pass this off as or sell this(the pattern) as your own work! Ta muchly!
