We stuff the parts tightly and evenly as we crochet. Crochet in a spiral,
without using turning chains, until other method is specified. Finished toy
measures 22 -24 cm (9 inches). Pairs of identical details - arms /legs are
better to crochet immediately one after another to get the same size of both
parts. If you use other yarn, the size of finished toy will be differ.
Accordingly, you will need to choose all the accessories by yourself,
depending on your parts size .
Alize Softy Plus - a special yarn, when crocheting which is very difficult to
see the loops. For your convenience, use markers-mark the places where the
pins, eyes, and other details are attached during knitting (they are written in
the diagram). Be sure to count the loops and mark the end (beginning) of the
row with a marker. I use a contrasting thread as a marker.
In this pattern we use US crochet terminology.

Toy’s details:
We sew the fingers.
Before doing this, we fix them on the base of the hand with sewing pins. Not in a
straight line, but with a slight curve. When the hands are lowered down, the
fingers should be in front. Or choose their position at your discretion. Keeping
track of the symmetry. If everything suits you, sew your fingers to your hands
with a secret seam.
Sew the sole to the base of the legs.
Before doing this, fix them with sewing pins in the correct position. The toes
should be pointed forward. Keeping track of the symmetry. If everything suits
you, sew the sole to the legs in a circle with a secret seam.
Sew on the ears.
Before you do this, we place the ears strictly on the sides of the head, Choose the
position. Keeping track of the symmetry. From the location of the ears depends
largely on the expression of Mogwai. Fix the ears with pins. Check the symmetry
again. (it is very convenient to check it by looking at the toy in the mirror
reflection). If everything suits you, we sew the ears to the head.
Congratulations!!! Your toy is ready!!!
