Assembly and finishing touches
Sew on the ears
The ears should be on between Rnds 22 & 26. Make the ears slightly angled. Add a little stuffing before closing.
Garfield’s eyes (if using felt):
Step 1- cut out the pieces: You will cut out a long white oval. Cut out an orange oval that is the exact same size. Once identical, cut a straight line at the bottom having off about 1/5th of the oval. Then cut out a small black circle.
Step 2- glue/sew the black and white pieces together: the black circle should be glued/sewed on towards the bottom middle. Be sure the orange piece will slightly cover the black circle (as shown in the 3rd picture).
Step 3- glue/sew the orange piece on: you should align the orange piece to the white piece making sure the entire top part is covered. The black circle should alsı be partially covered.
Step 4- sew/glue the eyes on: the eyes should be placed directly above the lips. Make the eyes overlap just a bit.
Garfield’s stripes: using black yarn make all the following stripes:
3 on each cheek: the top one will be between Rnd 20 & 21 and cover about 6 sts.
The middle one will be between Rnd 19 & 20 and will cover about 8 sts. The bottom one will be between Rnd 18 & 19 and will cover about 5 sts. Make sure both sides are equal distance from the lips and identical.
3 on each side of the body: the top one should go between Rnds 9 & 10 and span about 5 sts. The middle one should go between 7 & 8 and should span about 10 sts. The bottom one should go between Rnd 5 & 6 and should span about 6 sts. Make sure both sides are identical.
Tail: put 3 small stripes towards the bottom of the tail. I made the span 3 sts each.
