Assembly

  1. Before stuffing the head, pin the cheeks with sewing pins where you like, then attach the safety eyes and nose. Remove cheeks. They will be sewn on after the head is stuffed and sewn to the body.
  2. Stuff the body and sew to the head.
  3. Place the mane on the head, folding it in half to define the center, and pin it in the center of the head. Pin the sides of the mane before sewing.
  4. For the hands: Fold the opening of the hand in half so that the middle claw is facing forward. Sew over the edge, then sew to the body at the neck. Pull the remaining ends of the thread from both hands to the place where the tail will be.
  5. For the feet: Fold the opening of the foot in half so that all three claws are facing forward. Sew over the edge, then sew the legs to the body, focusing on the row in which you knitted behind the back wall of the loop. Pull the remaining thread from one of the legs to where the tail will be.
  6. Weave three threads to make a tail. Leave the tip about 2.5 cm and tie in a knot. Tie a piece of brown yarn and trim all the threads with scissors. Fluff all ends.
  7. Sew the ears in front of the mane.
  8. Sew cheeks. You can fill them a little with scraps of yarn of the same color.
  9. There are 2 options for the mouth:
    • the first – 4 ch and attach in the right place;
    • the second – attach the thread under the left cheek, ch 4, attach the connection. Art. on the other hand, now knit from the back of the chain, going back (about 10 sbn) and sew on from below.
