Fasten off, leave a tail long enough for sewing. Lightly stuff the legs. Sew legs on body, weave in yarn. Diaper: Use pink felt for the diaper (See Diaper Schematic below). When you are cutting the diaper, make sure the legs will fit through the opening on the sides.

Wrapping Diaper: 1. Place cut felt on flat surface. 2. Place kitty, back side on diaper. 3. Bring one end of diaper in toward tummy, bring other end toward tummy, bring bottom up to cover ends. 4. Use a small safety pin and pin diaper in place. NOTE: If you do not want to use pink felt for the diaper, you can crochet as follows: Crochet body to Rnd 6 in white yarn; work two more Rnds with white yarn; Join pink yarn continue to crochet and complete body. Pacifier: (Opt) Cut a piece of pink yarn about 10 long and thread through opening of pacifier, leaving one end of the yarn a little longer. Wrap the longer piece of yarn around neck twice, with the yarn pieces in back of head. Tie the two yarn pieces into a bow in back. Note: I bought the tiny pacifier from Michaels.
