Assembly

• Sew the arms between rounds 11 and 13, on the side of the belly (5 visible sts apart).
• Sew the feet between rounds 17 and 19. Place them in a 45° angle so the toes are a bit angled outward. Don’t sew the toes to the body. In order for the feet to be symmetrical, the right foot should be placed a little more on top of the color change while the left one should be in the “corner” of the belly.

• Sew the tail in the back on the round 18, it should be centered.
• Sew the ears on top of the head between rounds 4 and 6.
• Sew the teeth exactly between rounds 8 and 9 and center them with the light brown markings.

Finishing touches

• Embroider a triangular nose exactly between rounds 7 and 8, in the middle.
• Wrap the bow around the neck of your beaver. Make sure it goes above the arms and under the teeth. Tie a big knot with two loops and let the tails hang. You might have to rearrange it to make it pretty.

That’s it! The toy is ready!
