Assembly. Pierce the body and head with two knitting needles. Our belly is on the side where you made the decreases. Sew the body to the head in a circle, stuffing the neck at the end.

Konurkina Daria / daria.toys / All rights reserved.

You will attach the Arms and Legs using the thread fastening method. In total, you should pass the needle and thread through the body 4-6 times. In order for the parts to remain mobile, it is important to move the thread in and out of the Body at the same point.

Secure the Arms with pins exactly in the middle, close to the head. Cut a long piece of dental floss and insert it into the needle in two folds. When you insert the needle into the body for the first time, leave a small tail. With its help, you will tie several knots at the very end. Cut the thread. Sew the Arms exactly on the sides.

Konurkina Daria / daria.toys / All rights reserved.

Now, in the same way as the Arms, attach the Legs using a thread fastener.

At the end, sew on the Tail using the thread left over from crocheting.
