Sew the snout onto the head, on the front

Sew the ears between rounds 3 and 7,
aligning the inside edges with the eyes
Embroider eyebrows above the eyes
between rounds 5 and 6, as shown in

Sew the head onto the body
to do this, align the front of the head
with the front of the body, and sew
around 10 stitches together that way
For the rest of the head (back and
sides), sew it onto rounds 12-13 of the
body so it lies flat
Use a knitting needle or ami stick to align
the legs onto opposite sides of the body
between rounds 5 and 9, make sure your
plushie sits flat before sewing them on
Sew the tail between round 6 and 7,
centered between both the ears and the
back feet
