Assembly:
It’s good to fill your head with holofiber.
Sew the head to the body (note that there are 24 sc left in the head and body) Sew neatly, loop-to-loop.
Mark with pins where you will sew the muzzle. Don’t forget to fill with holofiber.
Also, with pins, pin the ears, sew. Observe symmetry)
Sew hands between 24 and 25 rows
(where the rise of the neck begins)
Use pins to mark symmetrical spots for sewing on the beaded eyes.
Use the yarn of the shade of the head to draw small tightens at the pinned locations. Do not overtighten!
Sew on the eyes.
Use a white yarn to make the white around the eyes.
Sewing yarn (or floss) of black / brown color, embroider the nose and eyebrows.
Hairstyle:
– Dial 10 ch
– slst into the first loop.
– From it we recruit 10 ch again,
– slst in the first loop (the current chain from ch !!!).
By this principle, we make the required number of curls for the hairstyle. I do 12pcs usually.
Sew symmetrically between the ears.
