Take a strand of lavender colour yarn and sew the stripes on forehead stripes from R2 to R6 and sewed the two side stripes at R15 and R17 of the body. Finally attach the tail at the back. I placed them between R21 and R22. And your chubby lil cat is now ready. I really hope you guys like the tutorial. Have a great day! Much love :)
