FO and leave a long tail for sewing.
Sew the gap between the legs.
With the same yarn tail, insert your needle from the bottom center and bring the yarn up about 3-4 rounds higher on the back of the body. (this forms the bum shape).
Repeat this a few times in the same path to secure the shaping.
FO and weave in the end.
Note: If your legs are still far apart afte sewing the gap between them, you could sew the legs together so they stay close and there is not much of a space between them.
Mushroom spots
In white yarn:
Use the pictures below as a guide.
Cut a long piece of white yarn and thread it onto your needle.
Choose a st on the mushroom cap that is about one st wide and insert the needle through it.
Bring the needle down one st below and insert it back through the same spot where you started.
Repeat this process, passing the yarn through the same st 3-4 times to create a small spot.
Continue making spots randomly across the mushroom cap until you’re happy with the look.
FO and weave in the ends.
