Assembling the Toy:
- Sew the head to the body. From the bottom front, sew on the loops on the border of the row with textured yarn so that the head tilts slightly forward.
- Sew the ears no higher than the eye level, to your preference.
- For the tail, choose a spot in the center of the back of the body. Insert the hook into the fabric, pick up a chain of 7-8 air loops, and return along the chain with half-double crochets.
- Fasten both threads and hide the toy inside.
Optional:
- You can comb the body and head using Velcro for added texture.
