🔧 Assembly Magic
- Head + Body: Sew head securely to top of body
- Eyes: Position white eyes on upper head, slightly overlapping the top for that classic Kermit look
- Pupils: Center black pupils on white eyes
- Mouth: Attach red mouth in lower center of head with gentle upward curve
- Arms: Sew to upper sides of body at shoulder level
- Legs: Attach to bottom of body for sitting pose
- Details: Embroider tiny nostrils above mouth with black thread
✂️ Finishing Touches
Gently pose your Kermit’s long limbs for that signature relaxed sitting position. The key to an authentic Kermit is in the eye placement and keeping those arms and legs flexible rather than overstuffed!
💡 Pro Tips
- Eye positioning is everything – They should sit prominently on top of the head
- Keep limbs flexible – Light stuffing allows for better posing
- Take your time with assembly – Proper placement makes all the difference
- Use stitch markers – Stay on track with your round counting
This delightful Kermit will bring Muppet magic wherever he sits – from bookshelves to garden branches! He’s perfect for gifting to fans young and old, or keeping as your own little piece of childhood nostalgia. 🐸💚
