Putting it together
Sew jowls on first, bottoms should be just over the black ribbing. Embroider teth so they over lap the bottoms of the jowls. The trick is to make four smaller teeth in the middle and two larger teeth on the ends. I started in the middle and worked my way out. Use picture as reference. I started at one point in the jowls then looped the white yarn into the side of one knit st “"v’ shape came up through the other side of the “v” to the same point in the jowls. Up through the middle of the “"v to the top of the same point in the jowls. repeated it 2 for each tooth Embroider the nose with black make a rough circle shape overlapping both the top of the jowl and the hat itself. Making sure that you stay in the middle of the jowl. Just keep going back and for with the black until you don't see anymore of the bone color showing through. Sew on the eyes so that they are tilted down in the middle so the bulldog looks angry. Sew black buttons in the middle or you can embroider the middle with a black circle Sew the ears on either side of the top of the hat Any questions email me at Knits_by_shelly @ mail.com
