♥ Assembling

Whenever I start assembling Amigurumi, I’d like to use sewing pins to position all parts first until I’m happy. Then I will sew them on. I recommend you do so as well.

Start with sewing the body to his head. Then sew on the arms and add the belt as well, with the Grey yarn create the buckle of the belt.
To his hat, add the bell to the tip and put it on his head. Now you can also figure out where you want his ears, sew those on too.
With a bit of Black yarn, make a little mouth.

If you want to hang it, don’t forget to add a loop to the top.
