                Special Instructions: After starting the head with 3 beads, lace 4 beads onto one strand and 3 beads on the other strand. Follow the string path to make the ears.
                You only go back through the first bead of the ear. Continue with the pattern following the string path for the arms and body.
                Legs: After completing the 3rd row from the bottom, lace on 2 green beads and 3 white beads onto one strand. Weave through only the middle white bead and back
                through the two green beads. Weave back through the 2 green beads on the previous row. This completes the leg and shoe. Repeat for the other leg and tie knots.
