FACE: Cut toe from sock, stuff and sew to head (Figure 3). Add a red pom pom for a comical nose. For a doleful mouth, embroider a modified upside down V-shape and sew a lolling, long red felt tongue underneath it (Figure 4).
EARS: Cut two pieces from sock and two from pink felt (Figure 5). Sew together, leaving opening for turning. Turn and sew to side of head with ears hanging down.
EYES: Cut circles of brown felt and sew to face. Sew white buttons on circles. For a droopy look, cut crescent-shape pieces of felt and sew over so that only part of eye buttons show (Figure 6).
TAIL: Make a stubby tail from a roll of sock and sew to body.
TRIM: Add a woe-be-gone hat (see [page 31] for hat designs) or a floppy ribbon bow.

For body (Sock No. 1) follow the basic instructions on pages [7] and [13] but sew opening in opposite direction so that legs spread apart and there is room for the pouch. Stretch legs by pulling before stitching into sitting position.
FOREARMS: Follow directions for front legs on [page 13], making them somewhat thinner and shorter.
