Step 1

Turn sock inside out. Cut off most of the rib, leaving about 1″ for white feet.

Step 2

Start 3″ from heel and sew two seams, ⅛″ each side of center line and across end of rib.

Step 3

Cut between seams and about 1″ into body to make opening for stuffing. Turn sock right side out.

Step 4

Insert ovals of cardboard or wood to shape feet. Stuff legs and rest of sock nice and plump.

Step 5

Sew up opening in body to bring legs together and to prevent them from bowing out.

Step 6

To shape head, tie a ribbon loosely around neck. Do not tie tightly as head will wobble.
