Finishing touches
• Embroider the cheeks under the eye, about 2 stitches long.
• Using a few strands of colour C, embroider a few speckles on the mushroom cap, about 1 stitch long.
• Using a few strands of colour E and another complimentary shade, emborider some line on the base to create grass.
• Using the yarn tail of the inner cap, place the mushroom cap on the head (stuff lightly if needed) and secure with a few stitches in round 1 of the inner cap.
