Assembly

  1. Stuff the head and body firmly so they hold their shape.
  2. Sew the head securely onto the top of the body.
  3. Stuff the snout lightly and sew it to the lower front of the head.
  4. Stuff the arms and legs; sew the arms to the upper sides of the body and the legs to the lower front.
  5. Sew the ears to the top of the head, curving slightly forward.
  6. Sew the small tail to the lower back (optional).

Finishing

  • Fit the safety eyes just above the snout before you close the head (or embroider them).
  • Embroider a small triangle nose and a mouth on the snout.
  • Shape with your hands and weave in all ends.

Every stitch count is generated and validated by the engine; assembly and finishing are suggested guidance.
