Arms: Sew the arms to the left and right of the body, leaving a distance of one row below the “neck”. Do not sew the arms directly at the height of the legs, but a little further back.




Eyes: Place the safety eyes under the 7th row of stitches from the top center of the head. The separation between the eyes is 4 points. Return to the crochet pattern .


Ears : Press the ears so that they arch out on one side. Sew the ears 2 rows apart from the center of the head, to the left and right. Sew the ears in an arc to the back, so that when sewn on they are slightly arched inwards.



Muzzle : Sew the muzzle one stitch row below the eyes, in the center.


Nose : Crochet the nose with Black yarn . Crochet the nose in the center of the muzzle. To do this, pull the thread horizontally several times from one stitch to the next, skipping 1 stitch between the two stitches.
