Tail (Make 1):
- Either braid three pieces of white yarn into a tail to make a 3-4 cm long tail or make a basic crochet cord using this technique:
- Make a slip knot on the needle, leaving a long tail. Wrap the working yarn around the index finger and the yarn tail around the thumb. So both sides of the yarn make kind of a v-shape. Hold on to the bottom of the slip
- Knot with your right hand to make sure it stays straight. Loop the yarn tail on your thumb around the needle from front to back so that you have two loops on your hook. Yarn over with the working yarn
- From your index finger and pull the working yarn through both loops on the hook. Repeat until the desired length.
- Fo and fray the yarn ends on the tail
Assembly:
- Sew legs onto the bottom of the body slightly pointing outwards. Use pins to fix legs to the body and try out the best placement before sewing.
- Sew snout to head. Sew one spot to the side of the head and one to the top of the body. Sew ears to head.
- Embroider eyes on the head (or use oval safety eyes) and nose holes on the snout. Attach tail to body.
