Creature scarf

Step 3 Sew on the face!

This is the fun part! The scarf pattern is really universal so you can make it whatever you want. Add long ears and make a bunny, a horn and its a unicorn, give it red cheeks and you have a pikachu :)

8) Cut out the eyes. I drew around thread spools to make the eyes.

9) Cut out the mouth. I did this freehand, i cut out the black shape of the mouth first and then the teeth and tongue to fit.

10) Lay the face pieces out and adjust till you're happy with them.

11) Tip: For the mouth i used layers of felt (dark pink mouth, white teeth later and the red tongue) i sewed the teeth and tongue to the pink mouth part to make one complete piece that the goes on the scarf. This is much easier than wrestling with little pieces of felt that can be dificult to pin through the fluffy fur.

12) Pin the features on and sew into place. I used zig zag stitch all around

13) TIp: If the fur is long and getting in the way of the face, trim it away with some pointy scissors. Snip a little at a time and keep the point of the scissors nearly vertical. This avoids cutting blunt patches
