Mane

We start with the crown. We pull out the loop with a hook, we collect 10-15 ch (on the bangs you can 10, it is better to do 15 from behind), we return along it 9-14 sl st. We move to the next column with the help of slst, we also collect the chain of ch, we return with connecting columns. So we tie the head as much as you want a thick mane.

Bow

8 ch, then we crochet turning 10 rows. At the end we do 1 ch and tie rectangle around the perimeter (in the corners of 3 sc). We transfer with connecting posts thread to the middle of the wide part, pull out a very long thread (about a meter), restore edge. Then fold the rectangle and fix the folds with using a needle, then wrap the butterfly in the middle. Thread with several stitches fasten at the back, pull out the loop and crochet about 14 ch (try on the neck of the toy). We tighten the thread with a knot, wrap the toy’s neck with a chain and sew it to the bow with the other side.
