Note: It might help to weave 7 strands of yarn vertically where you want your bobbles to go—one in the middle-front, two in the back,

and two on either side. You can then remove the strands as you work each column of bobbles. This will help you to keep your bobbles in

nice straight lines.

Sew rnd 7 of the Dalek middle to rnd 6 of the Dalek body. Weave

in ends.

Sew the back edge of the Dalek head to the back edge of the

Dalek middle; you want to sew only a few stitches so that it is

secure, but so that it opens and closes on this makeshift “hinge”

of sorts. See photos for help if necessary.
