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.

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.

Muzzle: Sew the muzzle to the head centered below the eyes.

Antlers: Sew on the small piece of the antlers in the middle of the larger piece. Then sew the two finished antlers left and right 3 to 4 stitch rows from the center of the head onto the head.

Ears: Sew the ears a little further forward and 1 to 2 stitches below the antlers to the head.

Tail: Sew the tail on the back of the body centered over the stitch edge.

Nose: Embroider the nose with a Signal Red thread. Embroider the nose on the middle of the just sewn on muzzle. To do this, pull the thread horizontally several times from one stitch through the next, skipping 1 stitch between those stitches.
