FO.
This is what the body should look like once completed. Stuff firmly so that it is quite dense and hard to squish when pressed between fingers. You can add the face now or later by printing/tracing a image of Mimitchi and copying it onto the body.

Putting Everything Together
First, attach the ears. The highest point of each ear should sit approx. 2 rows from the top
or about 1cm apart. Pin in place and use yarn tails and yarn needle to attach to body. For
the arms, I did one arm approx. 5 rows down from the start of the black hat and the other
approx. 3 rows down. You can pin them this way or however you like, then attach with yarn
and yarn needle.
The feet should be approx. 2-3 cm apart. Pin in place then attach with yarn tails and yarn needle. Lastly, the tail should be attached to the lower back in the center.
