Sew on ears

Cut yarn, stuff and sew together

Using a pipe cleaner, preferably the same color as the yarn you’ll be wrapping it in (Color B). Cut in half, fold in half, and twist making sure to leave a large enough hole at the top for a needle to fit through.

Place the open ends in the head in two different stitches, and wind it together on the inside.

Now using a piece of yarn threaded on a needle, enter from one of the two stitches and wrap the pipe cleaner in yarn all the way to the top. Thread the end into and around the hole you left at the top of the horn, and wrap back down towards the base. Make sure to cover the entire pipe cleaner. Thread the yarn back into the head in the second stitch and double knot on the inside.

Cut the yarn, stuff and sew together.

For sewing the piece together I highly suggest you check out the video.

Start by sewing on the limbs onto the body. This is easier to do before Rnd 7 on the body. Use pipe cleaners for the two front feet to make sure they’re pointed downward.

Then add the body to the head, again, be sure to stuff the body!

Finally, using some Fluffy yarn, add a mane and tail! I do this by inserting my crochet hook into two holes on the piece, looping the yarn through and making a knot (see video for better explanation).
