Stuff lightly and sew to front of head, or sew to side to make kitty look to the right or left (Figure 1). EARS: Cut two petal-shaped ears from sock and matching ears from pink felt. Sew one of each together, leaving an opening for turning. Turn and stitch to sides of head (Figure 2). FEATURES: For eyes, cut two oblong pieces of white felt and sew to face. Sew little green buttons, highlighted with specks of white, to felt. Use tempera or white india ink for specks. Embroider nose in pink yarn, adding three little stitches to form mouth (Figure 3). A scrap of red felt sewn to the lower stitch looks like a tongue (Figure 4). For whiskers, insert broom straws or brush bristles through face near mouth.
