Assembly

1. First, sew the head to the body stitch by stitch. Add a little more polyfill at the end for better support.
2. Arms: sew them right under the head, R14-17, 6 visible stitches apart.
3. Legs: sew them between R6-9, 7 visible stitches apart.
4. Muzzle: sew it in two ways:
   • a) between R11-14
   • b) between R12-15
   It depends on how I like it :P
5. Ears: sew them between R9-10, I like sewing them 3 stitches behind the eyes.
6. Sew horns between R6-7 just above the ears.

And you are all done!

Hope you enjoyed using my "Coco the Sitting Cow" pattern!
