ASSEMBLY
1. We make a face tightening. See the photo below. We insert the needle under the trunk, where we knitted 6 slst, and draw it under the eye. Then we introduce the needle at the top of the eye and Draw it out at the top of the other eye. Now we insert the needle at the bottom of the eye and draw it out under the trunk near the end of the thread. Tighten the ends well so that the eyes are pulled together and the trunk looks down. Tie some knots and hide the ends of the thread in the head.
2. We embroider eyebrows and eyelids.
3. Sew the head. We use 2 knitting needles to fix the head evenly, and sew it on. Neck area Fill tightly with filler. We dec the needles after the head is completely sewn on.
4. Sew the ears to the head at your discretion. You can fold them in the form of “droplets” or sew them fully open, higher or lower, you decide. I sewed at the level of 20 rows of the head at a distance of 12-13 columns.
