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.

FEATURES: Cut toe from sock, turn inside out and sew to a point (Figure 1). Turn, stuff lightly and sew to head. Mold the front of nose into a long, blunt shape, pushing in the point at the end. Embroider eye-lines with brown curved lashes (Figure 2). If possible, use crescent-shaped buttons or pieces of brown felt for eyes to avoid the “glazed” look of round buttons. Embroider mouth with brown yarn (Figure 3).

EARS: Cut four sock ears and sew into pairs (Figure 4). Turn right side out, stitch along sides of head and pleat front.

TAIL: Cut from sock and seam, leaving wide end open for stuffing (Figure 5). Turn right side out, stuff and sew to body.

POUCH: Cut a large triangle of knit to fit across the tummy with one point sewn between the legs (Figure 6). Allow the pouch to sag a little to leave room for baby kangaroo.
