6. Turn flannel liner right side out and align inside fleece (right sides together)

7. Sew around bottom, leaving a 1" opening at the back

    Make slits on inside curves and cut triangles from outside curves

9. Turn right side out through opening on back


10. Hand-stitch around bottom with yarn.
      Cut a small round hole where indicated in red on pattern on both sides.
      Cut 4x 22" pieces of yarn of each color
