Detailed Assembly Instructions

  1. Head to Body: Position the head against the front of the body. Identify the line between R6 and R7 on the body. Using a yarn needle, sew the back of the head (the area starting just below the wooly loops) to the body. Sew across approximately 1/4 of the head’s circumference to ensure it remains stable and upright.
  2. Legs: Align the legs on the bottom of the body. Mark the center-point of the belly. Place the front legs between R4 and R5 of the body, spaced about 1.5cm apart. Repeat for the back legs, ensuring they are symmetrical to the front ones. Sew around the top edge of each leg (10 sts) to the body.
  3. Ears: Position the ears on the sides of the head, just below the wooly top. Pinch the base of the ear to create a slight indentation. Sew the base to the head. To make them “droop” naturally, take one small stitch through the middle of the ear and anchor it slightly lower on the head before fastening off.
  4. Face Embroidery: Use black yarn to create a “Y” shape for the nose and mouth in the center of the face. For the eyes, embroider small horizontal lines or insert safety eyes two rows above the mouth, spaced about two stitches apart.
  5. Tail (Optional): Follow the ear pattern but sew it to the back center of the body.
  6. Final Checks: Weave in all loose yarn ends inside the body. Adjust the stuffing by gently squeezing the parts into the desired shape.
