Assembly
Head Details: Insert 6mm safety eyes between Rnds 9-10 of the head, approximately 6-7 stitches apart. Sew the cream muzzle (Color C) onto the lower front of the head, centering it below the eyes. Using Color D (Brown) yarn and a tapestry needle, embroider a small ‘V’ or ‘Y’ shape for the nose and mouth onto the cream muzzle. Sew the two orange ears (Color A) onto the top of the head, slightly to the sides, around Rnd 11-12.
Attach Head to Body: Firmly stuff the neck. Sew the open end of the neck to the open end of the head, ensuring the head is facing forward and centered.
Attach Legs: Position the 4 legs evenly spaced on the bottom of the body. Place two legs at the front (around Rnd 7-8 of the body) and two at the back (around Rnd 12-13 of the body). Sew them securely to the body.
Attach Tail: Sew the small orange tail (Color A) to the back of the body, centered, around Rnd 10-11.
