ASSEMBLE
1.- Embroider the eyelids with a yarn of the same color as the head. Give 4 turns over the sa-
fety eye. Then embroider with white yarn (more wide) a line under the safety eye. If it is the same
yarn of the snout give it at least 2 turns.

2.- Sew the snout to the head. To do this, count from the top of the head to the Rnd.19 (will be
the round under the eyes). Once in it, count 9sc wide and centered with eyes. Use that base to
match the top of the snout. Place it between Rnds.19 and 27 by helping with pins and sew.

3.- Sew the horns to the body between the Rnds.3 to 6 (counting from the top).

4.- Sew the inner ears inside the widest part of the base ears.

5.- Sew the already armed ears to the head between the Rnds.8 to 12 (counting from the top).

6.- Join the head (assembled) centered to body sewing the openings of head and body toget-
her.

7.- Sew the legs to the body. The yarn to sew them will be in the upper part of the legs, we will
only use the yarn of one of them, the other hide and FO. The chosen yarn must be placed to
the Rnd.3 (counting from the top), that side will be the interior of the 1st leg. To sew them, they
must be sewn together by placing 1 on each side of the body, matching the Rnd.3 of the leg
with the Rnd.14 of the body (counting from the bottom). Place the two in position by helping with
pins, take the yarn of the 1st leg and insert it with the needle inside the body (in Rnd.14) until
crossing and find the 2nd leg. There, pass the needle through the 2nd leg and pass only
through the inside (ie, the part that will remain attached to the body). Go back through the body (in
Rnd.14) and get back to 1st leg. Reinforce once more with another equal turn so that they are
well subject. In this way, movement is achieved in the legs and the amigurumi can be accom-
modated in the desired position.

8.- Sew the arms to the body in the same way as the legs. Match the Rnd.3 of the arm with the
Rnd.12 of the body (counting from the seam of the neck).
9.- Sew the tail to the body looking down to the side between the Rnds.14 to 15 (counting from
the bottom).

NOTE : To make the assembly, always follow the instructions and the images. It will be much easier
to understand the steps.
