Sew the head to the top of the body, aligning the stitches. Attach the ears to the top of the head about 4 stitches apart. Secure the muzzle to the front of the head, positioning it below the eyes. Sew the arms on either side of the body, with the top of the arms aligned to the body. Attach the legs to the bottom of the body. Finally, sew the tail to the back of the body and stuff all pieces firmly.
Final Notes
Make sure to use tight stitches to prevent stuffing from showing. Adjust the gauge as needed to achieve a firm shape. Enjoy your crochet journey!
