Assembling

Legs: After you’ve finished crocheting all pieces, start sewing the legs onto the body. Start sewing the first leg onto the body directly over the edge that was created by the round that was crocheted only into the back loop. Sew on the second leg 4 to 5 stitches left or right from the first leg, again just over the edge.

Jacket: Wrap the side of the jacket with the 15 stitches around the neck and with the opening to the front around the body and sew the jacket to the body with an Black colored thread.

Arms: Sew the arms left and right onto the body, 1 stitch row under the “neck”. Do not sew the arms directly over the legs but slightly behind the legs.

Eyes: Attach the safety eyes after the 7th stitch row counting from the top center of the head. The eyes are 4 stitches apart from each other. Back to the crochet pattern.

Brow Ridges: Pull a thread of each brow ridge through the stitch in the 1st upper row of each eye socket closest to the nose. From there, pull the second thread through a stitch 3 stitches left or right from the first pulled through thread. Knot the threads together on the inside, but not too tightly, otherwise the skull will be distorted. Cut the remaining threads just before the knot.
