Assembly and Finishing Touches

With all your pieces crocheted, it’s time to bring your zombie bear to life! Use the long yarn tails you left on each piece for sewing.

  1. Attach Head to Body: Position the stuffed head at the top edge of the coaster body and sew it securely in place.
  2. Attach Ears and Snout: Sew the two ears to the top of the head. Position the stuffed and embroidered snout onto the front of the head and sew it on.
  3. Attach Limbs: Sew the four limbs around the coaster body, placing two as arms near the head and two as legs at the bottom.
  4. Add Details: Use black yarn and your yarn needle to sew on some “zombie” details, like stitches or scars, to add character to your coaster.

Pattern Notes & Tips for Success

  • Pieces worked in spirals (Head, Snout, Arms/Legs) do not have a joining slip stitch at the end of the round. A stitch marker is essential to keep track of your first stitch.
  • For a cleaner look, use the invisible decrease method when decreasing stitches on the head.
  • Ensure all stuffed pieces (Head, Snout, Arms/Legs) are filled firmly but not overstuffed, as this can stretch the stitches.
  • Insert safety eyes before you finish and close the head. This ensures they are secure.
  • When sewing, take your time to position each piece carefully before attaching it to ensure your bear is symmetrical.
