AssemblingOriginal Pattern

Legs: After you’ve finished crocheting all pieces, start sewing the legs onto the body. Start sewing the first leg onto the body directly over the edge that was created by the round that was crocheted only into the back loop. Sew on the second leg 4 to 5 stitches left or right from the first leg, again just over the edge.

Arms: Sew the arms left and right onto the body, 1 stitch row under the “neck”. Do not sew the arms directly over the legs but slightly behind the legs.

Eyes: Attach the safety eyes after the 7th stitch row counting from the top center of the head. The eyes are 4 stitches apart from each other. Back to the crochet pattern.

Muzzle: Sew the muzzle centered below the eyes onto the head.

Spikes: Sew the spikes onto the middle of the head running from the front to the back. Start sewing on the spikes 2 to 3 stitch rows above the eyes.

Tail: Sew the tail onto the middle of the back of the body just above the stitch edge.

Wings: Sew the wings right and left just behind the arms onto the body.

Ears: Sew the ears right and left 3 to 4 stitch rows from the spikes onto the head.

Eyebrows: Pull both threads of each eyebrow through a stitch right and left above the eyes and pull them tight. Weave in and hide the threads inside the head.

DONE!
