Between row 11 and 12 you will add the eyes, about 2,5cm apart. It’s also a good time to add the roots with cream to the bottom of the bulb, I attached 4 strands, and peeled those apart, so it looks a bit more like roots.

Assembling
Sew the 2 leaves to the stem, at the point you started the stem.
With Sewing pins, it’s easier to see where you wanna place all the parts. With pinning them down to the place you wanna have the legs for example, you can see if it looks good. If not, you can easily replace them. What you can’t do easily when you already sew them on.
If you are happy with how your Cat Bulb looks, you can sew on all parts.
Lastly add the plant to the blub, insert it in the hole of the bulb and sew it on. I used the yarn tail from the blub, I thought this was easier, but do what feels good for you.
Don’t forget to make a nose, you can embroider it on or use felt. With some soft pastel I added some pink to the cheecks, maybe you wanna do that as well, just apply it with a brush.
