 ASSEMBLY
ARMS
✎ Sew the arms between rnds 24 and 25, to the sides of the body.

💡 Instead of using the original yarn

tail for sewing, tie a long piece of
similar-color DK cotton or acrylic
yarn to the piece and use it to sew
instead.

💡 The cotton/acrylic yarn will give

you better control and less
breakage. The fluffy chunky yarn
will hide the thinner sewing seam.

LEGS
✎ Sew the legs on rnds 38 and 39, in front of the body, with 11 sts in between.

11 sts

EARS
✎ Sew the ears on rnds 3-10 on the head, opposite each other, about 9 sts apart.
✎ From the side view, the front of the ear to the back of the ear is about 5-6 sts wide.
