Assembly:
1) Sew the head to the body.
2) Sew the handles to the body (close to the head), sew the legs between 4-5 rows (you can also hem the legs on the sides so that they do not stick out).

3) Sew the muzzle and ears to the head. Next, we sew or insert the eyes. If you sew on the eyes, like me, then we immediately make a tie (i.e. when we sew, we pull the yarn) (see photo below) We repeat these actions 2-3 times, then we tie the remaining ends in 2-3 knots and hide yarns.

4) We embroider whites for the eyes, eyebrows, stripes on the body and head.
5) We crochet a tail. We attach an orange yarn to the back of the body, crochet 6 ch, and along this chain we crochet 5 slst, fasten, hide the yarn.
