Finishing Touches

Face Sculpting

Assembly

  • Sew the ears to the top of the head.
  • Embroider the nose and eyebrows with black thread.
  • Add white highlights to the eyes using white thread.
  • Sew the head securely to the body.

The Suspenders

Choose your preferred color for the straps. Attach the yarn to the back of the body at Round 26.

  • Chain 30.
  • Starting from the 7th chain from the hook, work 23 sl st back down the chain.
  • Fasten off and repeat for the second strap.
  • Sew the 8 mm buttons to the front of the green shirt and attach the straps to the buttons.

Congratulations! Your little fox is complete!
