Connecting the legs to the base


How to connect a leg:
When the pattern says to connect a leg, you need to do the following - bring the leg close to the base, make
sure that they are both placed on the inner side of the plushie (see photo 1). insert your hook through the 1th
st from the fasten off of the leg, and then through the next st on the base (see photo 2) and make a sc. then
you will do the same through the next st on the leg (the fasten off) and the next st on the base.

After connecting
Continue the Body
The rows are counted from the bottom of the legs - therefore we’ll continue with row number 5.

Assembly

1. Sew the nose between the eyes. Eyes should by 2 st away from the nose.
Rows 6-7 and 8-9.
2. Sew the ears between rows 4-5 of the head - using the flat end of the ear
(see photo), sew the colored ear to the color stain on the head.
3. Sew the horns near the ears between rows 2-3 and 3-4 of the head.
4. Sew the head to the body. In the photo the head is sewn tilted, so it faces
the part of the body with the stain.
5. Sew the tail between rows 9-10, in the middle of the back of the body.
