Assembling the Toy

  • Use the thread joint to attach the lower legs between rows 5 and 6 (count from the bottom).
  • Attach the upper legs using the thread joint between rows 13 and 14 (count from the bottom).
  • Attach the muzzle between rows 8 and 11 (count from the top). Use slip stitches. The nose should be in the right lower corner.
  • Embroider the nose and eyebrows.
  • Attach the 4mm eyes on either side of the muzzle, 5-6 sc apart.
  • Create eyelids by stitching the necessary stitch for the eyelid and wrapping it in a spiral pattern.
  • Slightly curl the ears and sew them to the head near the magic ring on each side.
  • If not using a pin joint, simply sew the head to the body with the thread joint, or attach directly.
