Embroider a chunky nose: Step-by-Step Guide

Before diving into the embroidery process, take a moment to plan the ideal placement for your chunky nose. Mark the spot with a removable stitch marker or use pins, providing guidance as you bring your creation to life.

Tip: The more you pull the yarn, the more you shape the head at the same time.

1. Insert the needle into the head and come out in the middle (row 1 of the head, where we crocheted the chain).
2. Insert the needle at the top left and bring it out in the center. This defines the height of the nose.
3. Insert the needle at the top right and bring it back out at the bottom. This creates the right edge of the nose.
4. Now add as many layers of yarn to the nose as needed to reach your desired thickness. To create clean edges, finish with the left and right sides.
5. Optional step: For a clean upper edge, stitch to the upper right, come out at the upper left, then insert the needle back into the upper right.
6. Finally, come out at the starting point. Knot the thread and hide the ends in the head.
