Making up

Fold the ear. With the yarn tail, sew together using the back loops of the last rnd. Position ears onto the head along Rnd 20 symmetrically, with 7 sts between the ears. If you are happy with the position, sew the ears to the head with yarn tails using the front loops of the last rnd of the ears.

Place both sides of the body with wrong sides facing. Place arms and legs symmetrically into the seams and pin them with sewing pins. Using one body's yarn tails, sew the both sides together with running stitch along longest three sides, attaching legs and arms as you go. Stuff the body. Position the head onto the body and sew it along the neck opening using the remaining yarn tails. With the pink thread, embroider nose, weave in ends.

Amigurumi style

The head, ears, legs, and arms are worked in the amigurumi style, in a spiral with out slipstitching or turning chains. Use a removeable stitch marker to mark the end of the md, moving it up as you progress

Change colour on the last yrh when there are still 2 loops on hook. Always cut previous yarn leaving 1 Ocm tail, or L length indicated
