Assembly!

Facial Feature Attachment:
- Eyes: Place black safety eyes between Rnds 7 and 8 of the green section, spaced roughly 4 to 5 stitches apart. Secure backings before closing/stuffing.
- Mouth: Using black thread or yarn, embroider a curved “V” or gentle “U” shape smile centered between the eyes on Rnd 8–9.
- Cheeks: Add small horizontal stitches with pink yarn (or glue small pink felt circles) just outside the lower outer edges of each eye.
- Forehead Scar: Using light brown or tan yarn, stitch a diagonal line above the left eye (across Rnds 6–7) and cross it with 2 small vertical cross-bar stitches to create a classic Frankenstein scar.
Bolts Attachment:
- Lightly stuff the bolts if using option 1 (or leave un-stuffed if held firm).
- Sew one bolt onto each side of the green scoop at Rnd 8–9 (level with or slightly below the eyes).
Witch Hat Attachment:
- Lightly stuff the top cone of the witch hat to help keep its shape.
- Position the hat at an angle on top of the black hair section, tilted toward the right side.
- Using the long purple tail, stitch around the inner underside of the brim directly onto the black hair section of the scoop.
