Assembly

Start by flattening each leg so the dc round is at the side

Starting with the front legs sew on two toes one either side of

the magic then sew on another two toes, one either side of

the first two toes

Next sew on the toes on the back legs sew one on over the

magic circle then one either side

Next sew the pads onto the front legs making sure the dc

round is to the left for the left leg and to the right for the right

leg

Then sew the pads onto the back legs with the toes pointing

towards you and the dc round to the left for the left leg and to

the right for the right leg

Next outline each pad using black yarn

Make small stitches around the pad leaving gaps in-between,

then when you get back to where you started go around again

filling the gaps

Next flatten the body

Next flatten the ears with the dc round on the left for the left

ear and to the right for the right ear

Then pin each ear onto the head from the magic circle and 8

rounds down when your happy with the position sew in place

Next pin the left eye on so the top of the eye is 5 rounds down

from the magic circle of the head and the pupil is on the right

side

Then sew around the eye but leave a small gap so you can

stuff behind the eye to make it stand out from the body

Next pin on the right eye close to the left eye lining up the

pupils, then sew on and stuff as you did for the left eye

Then using black yarn outline each eye the same way as you

did for the pads

Next sew on the front legs on the 16th round down from the

magic circle on the head and the dc round on the left for the

left leg and on the right for the right leg

If the leg isnt very firm at the join add more stuffing before

closing up the hole

next sew on the back legs 6 rounds away from the sewn up

hole and making sure the dc round is to the left for the left leg

and to the right for the right leg

Then flatten the smaller end of the tail then sew about 2cms

of the flattened end between the back legs

Nose and mouth

Using black yarn, bring the needle out next to the left eye

then sew a straight line across to the right eye then bring the

needle out two rounds down and centre of the line

Then go back in at the left eye and out at the right eye

Then back into the centre and out at the left eye again

You should now have a small triangle for the nose

Now keep going in at the straight line and out the centre until

the nose is covered

On the last time you go into the centre bring the needle out 2

rounds down then go back in at the centre of the nose and out

at the bottom of the line you have just made

Then put the needle in 1 round down from the centre and 2

stitches away from the centre then bring the needle out 4

stiches away then back into the centre

Tie off loose ends and hide in the body.
