Assembling.
Pierce the body and head with two knitting needles. The belly is on the
side where you made the decreases. Sew the body to the head in a circle,
filling in the neck with fiberfill at the very end.
Konurkina Daria / daria.toys / All rights reserved.
Sew on the arms and legs using the thread fastening method. In total,
you should pass the needle with thread through the body 4-6 times. In
order for the parts to remain mobile, it is important to move the thread
in and out of the body at the same point.
Pin the arms exactly in the middle close to the head. Cut a long piece of
dental floss and insert it into the needle in two folds. When you insert
the needle into the body for the first time, leave the small end. With its
help, you will tie several knots at the very end. Cut off the thread. Sew
the arms exactly on the sides.

Now, just like the arms, attach the legs using thread fastening.

At the end, sew on the tail using the thread left over from crocheting.
