Assembling
Feet: After you’ve finished crocheting all pieces, start sewing the feet onto the body. Start sewing the first foot 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 foot 4 to 5 stitches left or right from the first foot, again just over the edge.
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 feet.
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.
Bill: Sew the bill onto the head horizontally centered under the eyes, as shown in the pictures.
Tail: Sew the tail centered onto the back of the body, directly over the stitch edge.
Eyebrows: Attach the eyebrows at a slight angle to the head above the eyes, as shown in the pictures.
DONE!
