Assembling Autumn the Bear Girl

Embroider the eyebrow with black embroidery thread. Using catania sand stitch a little
nose over 2 stitches, between row 9 and 10.

Sew the arms onto row 27.

Sew the wig onto the head. Position the front of the wig (where the parting is) 10 rows
above the left eye.

Pin the four strands at the top of the wig onto the head directly next to the cap before
you start sewing. (The strands on the right side of the wig should cross - see pictures)

Wrap the very long yarn tails on both sides of the wig around the hair strands to form
bunches. Using the leftover yarn, sew the cap and strands (up to where the bunch
begins) onto the head.
Put on her boots, dress and hat.

If you find the boots difficult to pull up the leg, use a strand of yarn to help. Insert the yarn
through the sole of the boot, through both sides of the foot, and back through the sole of
the boot. Pull on both yarn strands and ease the boot up the leg.
