• Turn under the edge of a foot circle and sew using a running stitch as you would when sewing a yo-yo.
• Stuff the circle and then draw the thread to close the stuffed circle.
• Knot securely!
• Stack the leg yo-yos using 21 yo-yos for each leg.
• Starting with the gathered side of the bottom yo-yo facing the foot,sew the foot to the center of the bottom yo-yo.
• Guide the needle up through the center of the leg yo-yos, turning the top yo-yo so the gathered side of the yo-yo is facing up.
• Knot securely.
• Sew the top leg yo-yo to the bottom body yo-yo, to one side of the center of the yo-yo.
• Secure well, knotting after every couple of stitches.
• Guide the needle up through half of the body yo-yos.
• Knot off on the body yo-yo and go down through the body yo-yos to the leg.
• Knot off again.
• Repeat for the other leg.
