ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 🦇

1. Shaping the Face:

• Sunken Eyes Technique:
  Thread matching yarn through the safety eyes from front to back, making the ends emerge at the "neck" area (1 stitch apart). Pull tightly to create a gentle eye socket effect, knot securely, and weave in ends.

2. Embroider Details:

• Eye Outlines:
  Use white yarn to backstitch around each eye.
• Nose:
  Stitch between Rounds 9-11 using a contrasting color (approx. 5 stitches wide).
• Fangs:
  With white yarn, embroider triangular shapes on Round 13 (or 12, depending on tension), spaced 4 stitches apart.
• Mouth:
  Using black yarn:
  • Create a curved smile (approx. 10 stitches wide) just below fangs (between Rounds 11-12/12-13).
  • Curve ends upward slightly.
• Eyebrows:
  Stitch short arches above eyes between Rounds 5-8.

3. Attach Components:

• Ears:
  Sew to top of head between Rounds 3-12, positioning them symmetrically.
• Wings:
  Attach to body sides between Rounds 19-31. For posable wings, insert thin wire before sewing.
• Feet:
  Secure at base of body. Ensure the bat can stand upright by adjusting foot placement.

4. Final Touches:

• Fluff and shape the body as needed.
• Hide all yarn tails securely.
