## ASSEMBLY

Lay out all pieces and **pin before sewing** to check symmetry.

1. **Join head to body:** Position the head on top of the body. Using the body tail, sew the two spheres firmly together all the way around the join. Add a little extra stuffing at the neck if needed for stability.

2. **Attach ears:** Pin the two ears to the top of the head, set slightly apart and angled so they flop forward/sideways (Bbokari's signature long droopy ears). Sew the flattened ends securely across the top of the head.

3. **Attach arms:** Pin one arm to each side of the upper body, just below the head join. Sew in place.

4. **Attach feet:** Pin the two feet to the front-bottom of the body so the toy sits upright. Sew in place.

## FACE (Bbokari's minimal expression)

Bbokari has a very simple, calm face — two small eyes and a tiny nose/mouth.

- **Eyes:** Insert two 6 mm safety eyes between Rnds 6–7 of the head, set about 2.5 cm (1 in) apart — **OR** embroider two small black oval/dot eyes in the same position. *(If using safety eyes, insert before closing the head.)*
- **Nose/mouth:** Using black yarn or embroidery thread, embroider a tiny "Y" shape (a small inverted triangle nose with a short vertical line below) centred just under and between the eyes.
- **Cheeks (optional):** Add two small pale-pink stitched or lightly brushed circles below the eyes for a soft look.

## CONSTRUCTION TIPS
- Work **tightly** throughout so the white stuffing does not peek through.
- Stuff the head and body **firmly**, but keep the ears **completely unstuffed** so they remain floppy — this is key to the Bbokari look.
- Use the **invisible decrease** for a smooth surface on the head.
- **Pin everything** before sewing to keep ears, arms, and feet symmetrical.
- Weave in all ends securely inside the stuffed pieces.

## SIZE ADJUSTMENTS
- **Larger Bbokari:** Add one more increase round to head and body (e.g. continue to 30/36 sts) and add extra plain rounds.
- **Keychain size:** Stop the head at 18 sts max, shorten ears to ~6 rounds, and attach a keychain finding to the top seam between the ears.
