Little Muggles ASSEMBLY

!

**After Round 42, stuff the head generously with fiber fill. Place the eyes and sew the nose with your pink yarn. (please view pictures for placement - In my example, the eyes are placed between rows 23 & 24, with 13 st between them) Also, consider a different color yarn for the nose if you d like! (ie. a light blue nose might be nice for a boy) Once you are happy with the positioning, place the safety backings onto the eyes and tie the loose yarn ends inside the head. Make sure the head is stuffed to your liking before you completely close it up because there can be no adjustments later on! In my example, the circumference measurement of the head is about 22inches.

Here is what the white part of the head looks like. It looks like a fluffy bowl and when you put the gray head in, it should fit quite snugly, with no loose gaps anywhere. Once the face is positioned to your liking, take the long leftover fuzzy white yarn and sew it around the entire circumference of the opening, making sure that your needle pushes through to the gray yarn. In my doll, I sewed it about 1/2 an inch in from the edge. You Because of the fuzziness of the yarn, the stitches don t show at all!

If this is your first time working with fuzzy yarn, it can be quite tricky! This was MY first time working with such a yarn and it took me a few tries before I got the hang of crocheting with it. In the beginning, I found it rather difficult to tell how many stitches I made and to find each one! I also had to get used to using a slightly looser stitch. (View the body picture (p5) to get an idea of how tight/loose my stitches are)

Stuff the body with fiber fill. Even with the slightly looser stitch, the fuzziness of the yarn will camouflage the stuffing that would otherwise show through. If your holes are big enough to obviously see the stuffing, you need to make slightly tighter stitches. In my example, the circumference of the body after stuffing with fiber fill is just under 24 inches.

Little Muggles

When stuffing the arms, concentrate most of the fiber fill towards the paw . Try to keep both arms stuffed with about the same filling, so that it looks nice and symmetric when you attach them to your doll! Attach both arms to the sides of the body using the long tails. Sew each arm several times to the body in order to ensure a strong and firm attachment!

Attach the legs to the body in the same manner as the arms. Again, because each limb is so heavy compared to the body, you should sew the legs several times to make sure each limb is tightly attached.

Here is a side view showing how the legs should look when they are attached.

TAIL

!

Stuff the tail with a bit of fiber fill and press the tail so that it is somewhat flat. Don t overstuff it, otherwise it will come out a sphere!

Little Muggles Center the tail and attach to the back of the sheep. Make sure the tail is not so low that it interferes with the balance of your doll in the sitting position.
