Special Construction Notes:

1) For decreases for the end of hands and feet. This is not noted on the graphs. I did two on double point and two just decreasing on the needle. You essentially want to take the 13 (arms) or 11 (legs) down to 3 - 4 stitches so you can bind off like socks.

1) K1, k2tog, K1, k2tog, K1, k2tog, K1
2) Following the same pattern as above for all following rows.

It would have probably made more since to have just knit the legs and arms on double points in the first place and I actually would do that the second time around to avoid the seam, but the first one was knit flat.

2) For the ears I just folded them in half and sewed the sides so that there was no seam across the top.

3) I chose to attach the legs, head, and ears using normal weaving technique, but for the arms I did old fashion Teddy bear joint.

1) I took one of the ends of the arms and did running stitch across the top and pulled it as tight as I could. Then I ran the needle through several times to make sure it was secure.
2) After this was done I held it up to Scrappy and found the point where the arms should hang.
3) With a heavy string I wrapped the end of the string around the needle 4 times and then pulled it through creating a large clean knot.
4) I then ran it through the top of the arm, body, and other arm. I held it tighter than you would normally want it and held the needle close to the arm and wrapped the yarn around the needle 4 times and pulled it through.
5) Cut the end.

4) Yes, the front is bigger than the back for the body. This is so it slightly roles to the back also you need the extra stitches when joining the head on. I found this out the hard way.
