Snoopy Crochet Pattern, Part 2.
Here is a diagram of how I sewed the mouth on, where "^" represents where I pulled the needle up, and "v" is where I pushed it down. The numbers represent the order that I sewed the mouth. There are 4 places that my needle actually went through; those are: The 2 corners of the mouth, and 2 middle sections (where the straight line starts and ends). I'm not well versed in sewing, so this is my own little ghetto way of doing it. Hehe! Of course, you can always find your own way of sewing on his mouth. Phew. Ears should be flat. I will post arms and legs a little later!
