Next, crochet in the arms. If you see that the arms will not sit evenly, work 1 offset stitch (or as many as needed) before round 16. Then the rest of the pattern will line up without twisting.

Assembly

  • Sew the muzzle under the eyes, stuffing it as you go.
  • Sew the horns to the top of the head, right above the ears.
  • For the tail: wrap a little fuzzy yarn and pull it through the tip, tying it in a knot. Brush it out with a slicker brush and trim the excess.
  • If desired, attach a keychain chain to the top of the head and add a ring to the nose or ear.
