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 9 to 10 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.
Then sew the end of one arm with a Moss colored thread right next to the leg, as shown in the pictures.
Repeat this step with the second arm.
Eyes: First shorten the safety eyes so that the shaft is on the same level as the crochet piece.
Now sew the crocheted part of the eyes directly over the stitch edge, representing the mouth. The eyes should not be sewn further apart than the mouth is wide. Use the following pictures as a guide for correct positioning.
Then insert the shortened safety eyes into the opening of the eye. If they are too loose, glue the safety eyes into the opening.
Cheeks: Sew the cheeks right and left to the color transition from Moss to Yellowgreen, as shown in the pictures.
Eyebrows: Attach the eyebrows directly along the eyes to the head. Start in the middle above the eyes and let the eyebrows move down the side.
