Attaching the Window and Plate

Sew in any loose window edges with white yarn.
Pin license plate at the back, sew with tail.

Embroidering Details

With black or contrasting yarn, embroider eyes on white window (add safety eyes if preferred).
On plate: Embroider letters (e.g., M, Z) with a tapestry needle. Use capital letters for effect.

Final Steps

Weave in all remaining yarn ends neatly.
Shape car by hand, making sure it sits flat.
Add any additional embroidered details or embellishments as desired (e.g., headlights, door handles).

Pattern Corrections

If you find stitch counts don't align when working in rounds on the body, adjust increases or decreases by 1-2 stitches as needed for symmetry.
The original references a diagram for more advanced increase/decrease shaping, which you can adapt as you gain confidence.

Tips

Use stitch markers to help keep rounds aligned.
Using an invisible join for closing will result in a more professional finish.
Customize license plate and window shapes for a personalized car!
Work wheels tightly to help the car "stand."
