Assembly and Finishing
Now it’s time to bring your capybara to life! Use your yarn needle and the long tails you left to sew all the pieces together.
- Head to Body: Sew the head securely onto the body. The open end of the body (R12) should attach to the base of the head.
- Attach Feet: Sew the two feet to the bottom front of the body, positioning them so the capybara can sit upright.
- Attach Arms: Sew the arms to the sides of the body, just below the head.
- Attach Ears: Position the ears on the top of the head, slightly to the sides. Pinch them flat before sewing them in place.
- Assemble Backpack: Sew the backpack’s head and two legs onto the backpack’s body to create the mini creature.
- Attach Backpack: Sew the completed backpack onto the capybara’s back. You can also create simple straps by making a chain and sewing it around the arms.
- Final Touches: Weave in any remaining yarn ends to give your project a clean, finished look.
