Do not cut the thread after the two sides are tied. Immediately begin to tie the next triangle.

Sew the mane in the 17th row of the head.

Important! The mane is not sewn along the entire diameter of the head, it is necessary to leave a place for attaching the body. The mane needs to be sewn tighter.

Cut the thread, fasten. If you sew with the same thread, leave a long tip.

Ears (2 pcs)

Fold the pink and yellow pieces wrong sides together. Tie around the perimeter with yellow thread. In the upper corner, knit 3 sc in one loop.

Knit 2 sides. Cut the thread, fasten. If you sew with the same thread, then leave a long tip.

Nose

If there is no finished spout, you can tie it. The part can be stuffed when sewing.

We knit with black cotton yarn:

1 row: 5 ch. From 2 loops: inc, 2 sc, 4 sc in 1 loop, 2 sc, inc. (12)

2nd row: 2 inc, 2 sc, 4 inc, 2 sc, 2 inc (20)

Cut the thread, fasten. If you sew with the same thread, then leave a long tip.

If desired, you can embroider a highlight with a white thread.

Head decoration

1. From black cotton yarn, dial a chain of air loops. I got it: 140 ch. Sew on the center of the head. The center of the head is the center of the 5th tip of the mane.

If you do not want to type a chain, then you can simply make a line from the thread.

2. Attach the muzzle to the head, the upper part of the muzzle is approximately 2-3 rows of the head. Fix the muzzle with needles, but do not sew!

3. Attach the lip under the muzzle, attach with a needle. Do not sew.

4. Remove the muzzle, sew on the lip. I only sewed the top.

5. After the lip is sewn, re-attach the muzzle and sew it on.

It should look like this.

6. Sew on the ears between the 3-4 and 6-7 points of the mane.

7. Glue the nose and eyes.

Used eyes and nose on a secure mount. But it is difficult to stick them: thanks to the remaining leg, the part can pop out and peel off. So I sawed off the leg to floor to learn a flat detail.

She applied it to her head and looked at a good location.

After I found it, I glued it.

With black cotton thread, embroider 2 parallel stripes that imitate sewing on a button.

Or you can use a ready-made button of a suitable color, diameter 50 mm.

Assembly

1. Sew on a button

2. Sew the tail between the 6th and 7th rows of the body.

3. Next, we will make black stripes on the body, as shown in the figure:

You will need several pieces of black thread: 2 for the arms, 2 for the legs and 2 for the body. From black cotton yarn, you can dial a chain of air loops or simply cut off a piece of thread of a suitable length.

I made chains of air loops, applied them to the body and watched enough or not, so the number of loops is not counted.

Body: The thread runs from about the middle of the leg to ¼ of the head.

Hands: The thread runs from one end of the fold to the other, hiding behind the fingers.

Legs: The thread divides the leg in half, hiding behind the toes.

4. Cut out a row of triangles from white felt and sew them onto the arms and legs.

This is what a row of triangles looks like:

For legs: length 12 cm, height 2-3 cm, for arms – 10 cm and height 2-3 cm.

Sew between black threads in the 5th row for the arms and in the 6th row for the legs.
