NOTES

 Work in a continuous spiral, do not join rounds or turn your work, unless
instructed otherwise in the pattern.
 Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark the end or the beginning of a
round. Move the marker up after completing each round.
 All stitches are worked into both loops, unless instructed otherwise in the
pattern.
 Make sure to crochet tightly enough to achieve a tight gauge that will not
allow the stuffing to show through the fabric. You can use the same pattern
to make larger or smaller toys by using finer or bulkier yarn. Make sure to pick
a crochet hook at least a size smaller than suggested on the yarn label and
crochet tightly enough to achieve a tight gauge that will not allow the
stuffing to show through the fabric. You may also need to adjust the size of
the eyes.

In my pattern, I explain how to make a thread mount - this is a way of fixing the
arms and legs of a toy. However, they can spin. If you do not want to do this, then
you can simply sew your arms and legs in the usual way.
Thread mount (rotating legs and arms)
1) The approximate location of the arms and legs are found with the help of pins.
2) The most important thing that needs to be learned here is: insert and withdraw
the needle into ONE AND THE SAME hole between the st. Required.
3) At the end we tie several strong knots, they must “drown” between the st. Then
cut the thread and thread the ends into the toy.
Methods Thread mounting from different authors may differ. I offer you my scheme.
Thread mounting scheme.

Thread mount hands step by step:
Introduce the needle into the place of attachment of the first hand (2), output at
the place of attachment of the second (3).
Grab a few rows of the second hand (4); we insert the needle back into the body,
we withdraw it at the place of attachment of the first hand (5).
Grab a few rows of the first hand (6). The thread can now be cut off, leaving the
long end (7). Tie these ends on tight knots, adjust the tension yourself. Should not
be too weak or too tight.

Thread mount feet step by step:
Introduce the needle between the legs from below and output at the attachment
point of the first leg (2). Grab a few rows of legs (3).
Introduce the needle back into the body and output at the attachment point of
the second leg (4).
Grab a few rows of the second leg (5). Then we insert the needle back into the
body, output it at the original point. There we tie a knot. The thread is cut off.

Assembly and design.

1. Sew the head to the body. First, fix everything with pins, then sew on.

2. Sew arms and legs to

the thread mount (scheme
at the beginning of the
pattern).

3. Then sew the muzzle in the interval from 11 to 15

row. Do not forget to stuff it in the process of
sewing.

4. Sew on the ears. Pay attention to their location:

they are sewn obliquely. The upper edge of the
ear is at the level of the 6th row of the head, the
lower one is at the level of the 9-10th row.
Pin with pins and sew.

5. Sew a dark brown

nose to the muzzle.
After sewing, do not
cut the thread, make
one horizontal stitch
several rows down, as
shown in the photo.

6. Glue the eyes - focus on

the location of the muzzle,
the eyes should be in line with
the upper edge of the
muzzle. Let the glue dry for 10-
15 minutes.

7. Embroider the white part of the eyes with a white

thread. It is important that the needle is pulled
close to the eye.

8. Embroider eyebrows with black thread.

9. Embroider dots on the face. Divide the thread

that crocheted the nose into 4 parts (there are
only 4 thin threads in the twist). Take one piece
for embroidery. We embroider several small
stitches, slightly pulling them together (making
them “airy”).

10. Sew a tail to the back side, fill or not fill -

according to your desire. I didn’t stuff :).

11. Make the cheeks blush with oil pastels.
