through the middle of the bow and secure with a knot. Weave in ends.

ASSEMBLY
I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you
have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the
yarn in the end from the finish pieces to sew them in place but I personally like to use
matching thread).

Sew the buttons where we did the hdcs from round 10.
On the Hello Kitty face embroider the eyes and nose. With yellow yarn
embroider the nose between round 2 and 3; 2 stitches long. With black yarn
embroider the eyes between round 1 and 2, lengthwise about 2 stitches long.
Now if youre not good at embroidering then you can use felt but make sure to
double secure them by gluing and sewing them in place. You wouldnt want your
little one to swollen one.
With black yarn embroider the whiskers.
Sew the bow on the left ear and the other on the right.
Sew the Hello Kitty face on the booties.
