f/o leave a very long tail for sewing onto body.

Optional:
On the chain side of the chest (row 1) attach yarn in the middle and sc two. Ch 1, turn after
each row and continue with 2 sc rows until the tail portion goes between his legs and
reaches the tip of his tail.

Assembly
1. Attach arms and legs. Line the legs up with the edge of the body so they look like one
piece.
2. Attach the tail.
3. Attach the chest piece starting at the top and working your way down and around. If
you did the optional tail portion, put it between his legs and attach onto the
underside of his tail.
4. Embroider face.
5. Attach flames by tying strands of yellow and red yarn to the tip of the tail. Then take
a brush (pet brushes are best but using a regular hair brush will work too) and brush
out the yarn to make it fuzzy. Trim to desired look.
