Assembling and Decorating Toys

We connect the head and body. Align the last row of the body with the 27th row of the head, which we previously marked with a marker, fix the details with pins. Make sure that the head is straight (oriented along the chain from the VP with which we started knitting the head, it should be parallel to the body). Start sewing on the head, alternately grabbing the single crochet of each piece. While sewing, add filler between the neck and head.

Fix the ears with pins at the level of 2-10 rows of the head and sew.

Glue or embroider a nose in the center of the face between 9 and 10 rows, counting from the bottom of the head. Then decorate the eyes with embroidery or glue the finished ones (it is more convenient to embroider the eyelash before the eyes are glued). After that, embroider the mustache with black thread – 3 strips on each side. For the convenience of the location of all elements of the face, be guided by the diagrams. You can adjust the position based on your knitting density.

Attach the handles to the body with a thread fastener. To do this, you need a long needle and a strong cotton thread in 2 additions (preferably white, a dark thread is used for clarity). Insert the needle at any point on the back and bring it out on the side of the body between 17 and 18 next, leave the tail of medium length. Next, pass the needle from the inside of the handle to the outside (1). Then insert the needle at the same point where the thread comes from (2), and bring it out from the inside of the handle, but retreating 2 sc from the first hole (3). After that, pass the needle to the same point on the side of the body where the thread comes from (4), and bring it out symmetrically from the opposite side of the body (5). Attach the second handle in the same way. For reliable fastening, you can skip the thread for the 2nd time. After both handles are fixed, bring the thread to the back and tie a knot.

Sew the antennas to the top of the head.

Sew the flowers on the bottom of one of the ears, leaving the petals free. The middle can be additionally decorated with beads.

Fix the legs at the level of 3-7 rows of the body at a distance of 9 sc from each other. The location of the legs may vary slightly, choose it so that the toy sits confidently. Sew on the legs, try to keep their round outline.

Sew the wings to the back of the toy. They can be positioned raised or folded, depending on the suit. If the wings dangle a lot, secure them with additional stitches.

Fix the tail at the level of 5-8 rows of the body and sew. The tail will also serve as an additional support for the toy when sitting.
