ASSEMBLY
Sew the 'Ch 1, Turn' edge of the Bottom Piece to half of Row 10 of the Top Piece. Once you have sewn these together, Row 10 of the Bottom Piece represents the bottom edge of the mouth and the remaining stitches of Row 10 of the Top Piece represent the top edge of the mouth. (Refer to the following diagram.)
Fold each 'Inside Mouth' circle in half and sew them shut flat around the edges to create semicircles. Sew Row 6 of each of these pieces to Row 10 of the Top and Bottom Pieces. (There will be 20 stitches open on the Top and Bottom Pieces and only 18 around the edge of the semicircles. Be sure to compensate for this while you sew). Stuff the piece through the opening between the two Inside Mouth' pieces. Sew the folded edges of both semicircles together to close the mouth.
