Start by putting together the head. First sew the nose to the lower half of the head along the middle. Sew the cheeks either side of the nose, adding a tiny bit of stuffing underneath.

Step-2
Add the ears to the top of the head and the extra white detail inside each ear – for the smallest details you could use a small pieces of felt.
Step-3
Next sew the body to the head, the rounder section of the body making the tummy. Sew the tummy detail to the front of the body. Sew the arms either side of the tummy detail close to the top.
Step-4
Add the legs to the base of the body. Sew the tail to the back, checking that it helps hamster sit up.
Step-5
Embroider a pink nose with embroidery thread or waste yarn. Sew the little teeth underneath the nose and tidy up any loose ends to finish to finish.
Step-6
Add the green tops to the carrots and attach one of the carrots to hamster's arms if you want to pose him.
