Close the opening in any convenient way, either by making decreases or with a needle. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail long enough for sewing.

Assembly and Finishing

Since the head and body are made as one piece, start assembly with the legs.

Before sewing the pieces on, decide exactly where they should go so the bear gets those cute tucked-in paws, and pin them in place.

Then sew the legs to the body through almost half of the inner side so they do not wobble and sit neatly in place. Next, sew on the arms in the same way and make a small shaping pull in the shoulder area so the arms do not stick out. When sewing on the legs, try to keep the top part as flat as possible and close to the body.

Mark the placement for the ears and tail.

When shaping the face, make one more pull where the eyes will be placed. Embroider the nose to your taste.

Finally, cut a small heart from felt and sew it onto the tummy.
