How to Make a Neuron

Step 4 A Leg to Stand On

Set the little fellow on his butt and determine where the legs come out from the bottom. Because you use the heel of the sock it should be easy to match up the ends of the sock.

Cut the sock in half down the middle toward the body, leaving a little fabric for seam allowance. Now turn the fabric in, right sides together and hand sew the legs shut. The seam is not terribly noticeable if the stitches are small and the thread is a good match. Sock material hides a lot of mistakes.

Leave the end of the legs open so you can put stuffing in there. Don't stuff them completely up to the body because you will need room there for the bend so he will sit easily.

Once they are stuffed to your satisfaction, turn the ends in and sew them shut.
