Sl st and F/O leaving a long tail for sewing.

Fold the rainbow in two and keep both the blue and the pink tail on one side. This way it will be easier to sew the gaps.

You can also cut all the remaining tails from the colour change. Just keep the blue and pink coloured tails. Also, try not to cut them too close to the stitches. Grab the blue tail and sew the bottom part of the rainbow.

After you sew the bottom hide the yarn tail into the rainbow. Grab the pink tail and start sewing the upper part of the rainbow. Stop in the middle and put fiberfill, stuffing firmly.

Place the safety eyes between the 3rd and 4th row of the green section.

When you finish the sewing and the stuffing of the rainbow, grab a black coloured yarn and embroider the mouth on the last row of the green section.
