Crochet Sloth Assembly
- Position and pin the mouth piece on the head with positioning pins.
- Sew the mouth securely in place.

- Embroider eye lines using yellow thread.
- Sew a few strands of hair on top of the head.
- Separate a strand of purple thread to embroider the nose.
- Sew buttons onto the body.
- Wrap and secure the scarf.
Crochet Tips:
- When making the legs, maintain even tension to keep both legs identical.
- Remember to stuff firmly but not too tightly - this helps your sloth sit stably.
- Keep your stitches tight and consistent throughout to prevent stuffing from showing.
- Use stitch markers to track your rounds. When attaching arms, ensure they're positioned evenly on both sides for that perfect sloth hug.
Assembly Tips:
- Take time to position features before sewing - this ensures your sloth's face looks perfectly balanced.
