2. Sew the eye spots to the head. They should be slightly inclined as in the picture below. The white parts of the spots are approximately between Rnd 8 and Rnd 15.
3. Sew muzzle to the head like it’s shown in the pictures. Put some fiberfill inside the muzzle before you finish. Embroider a nose with black thread.
4. Pin ears to the head making them slightly round-shaped, then sew them on.
5. Sew tail, arms, belly and head to the body.

Love the pattern, perfect gift for a friend thanks!!
Love this pattern! It’s free and easy to understand instructions. The only thing I’d say is it ends up being a bit bigger than it looks in the picture but I still love it!
Fantastic pattern! Very easy to understand and loved the result. Thank you
Pattern is super easy to follow!

Super easy to follow and fun to crochet
Thanks for the pattern.
Preciosos todos!!
Gracias por compartirlo
A very cute pattern! Thank you
Makes up fast, and cuddly for a little one
Easy a lot of descriptions step by step with pictures thanks to designer of this pattern xD
Nice complete pattern. Haven’t started it yet but expect to enjoy making this amigurumi very soon.
Love all patterns by this designer! I particularly love this pattern.
I’ve been struggling on the beginning of the belly. It seems that when I start the bump on the belly ends up on the back side. Could you clarify for me if when you connect the two legs, does each round start on the back or front?
Front 🙂
Soo the head stays open with 12sts ? in some of the picture it seems like its closed but with the head straight like it is it’s hard to see under 😛 at first i thought there was a missing round of decrease to get to 6sts and then sew the hole closed with the tail
There is no neck ? you just sew the arms on the last round of the body and the head on top of that ? But the head ends up with 12sts and the body ends up at 16sts… how can i sew it together if the stitches don’t align ?
and ma i correct in assuming you use the same base for all the cuddle me and then add the particular part ?
also i saw you say that translation is forbidden, may i ask why ? just wondering no intention of doing it
Yes, the head ends up with 12 st and the body ends up with 16 st, in this way a neck seam will be neater.
Question:
I have not a clue what ” 7 chain, further, crochet in spiral working on both sides of foundation chain” means. I have looked in a number of crochet definition sites, and cannot find this terminology. No matter what I do, my eyes come out funny-looking. Please help!
Hi Dianne 🙂 Please have a look at this tutorial https://amigurumi.today/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Screenshot_21.png
