Need help identifying this technique

[Tigerlilley]

Hello, I am new, both to crochet and to this forum.

I came across this design and am wondering how the creator achieved this look as I am looking to design my own pattern (not this character) and this way of doing seams is very neat.

I am aware the easiest way would be to just crochet a round ball for the head and a separate piece over top for the purple but I don't want to do that as I want the colours to sit neatly next to each other, like in the picture.

How has this been done? I can't find any patterns like it. Is the purple a separate piece and the orange stitching around the edges just to make it tidier? Or has it been sewn in pieces and stitched together?

Thanks for any help :)

I can see the 2 lines of what looks like hand sewn embroidery after the fact, 1 for each different colored edge, smoothing the line between the forehead and the face.  

Also around the felt muzzle.

Looks like the purple is a separate piece sewn onto the orange and embroidery stitches used to tidy it up.

Duh (me), I was puzzling over the ridge on the right side but didn't notice the stitches were front/back (worked flat) on the forehead.
