3 – Sew on the muzzle on 9-12 rounds, embroider a nose in the middle with a pink thread.
4 – Sew on the head on 4-6 rounds of the body using the remaining thread.
5 – Sew on the paws: front legs on 5-7 rounds of the body, hind legs on 13-15 rounds of the body. I recommend attaching the paws with pins before sewing to check if the kitten is steady.
6 – Sew on the tail at the back of the toy, hdc stitches look up.
