Assembling the toy
We make a muzzle tightening. See photo below. We insert the needle under the trunk, where we knitted 6 sl-st, and bring it out under the eye. Then we insert the needle at the top of the eye and bring it out at the top of the other eye. Now we insert the needle at the bottom of the eye and bring it out under the trunk next to the end of the thread. Tighten the ends well so that the eyes are drawn to each other, and the trunk looks down. Tie a few knots and hide the ends of the thread in the head.
We embroider eyebrows and eyelids.
Sew the head to the body. We use 2 knitting needles or 2 large needles to evenly fix the head, and sew it on. Stuff the neck area tightly with filler. We remove the knitting needles after the head is completely sewn on.
We sew the ears to the head at our discretion. You can fold them in the form of a “droplet” or sew them fully open, higher or lower, you decide. I sewed at the level of the 20th row of the head at a distance of 12-13 columns.
