Assembly:

Wait to attach front legs until after back legs are put on. There is a little more room to move these legs around to keep the legs squared up for stability. When you place them put them in the natural shoulder position stuffing firmly as you go. It needs to be firm to support the weight. I wanted the legs to be closer together so I did some additional stitching in the underarm area to hold them in more. Stitch the gaps between the toes together beginning 1/3 down the toes on the bottom touching sections. This will make them more forward facing and hide any stuffing peeking through at the junction.

Assembly:

Attach tail to the rump and the very top of the thighs with the curve resting on theground. This adds to the stability of the piece. Stuff as you go. Be sure the tip of the tail doesn’tgo into the back leg.

3. Row: 24sc, 3sc in next, 24sc = 51, ch, turn

Assembly:

Starting near the base, alternate sides, with first six up to the curve. The seventh is placed at the curve and up over the previously applied strips. The eighth is placed slightly overlapping the seventh and up over the first six. Stitch within the last row of stitches to keep a nice clean edge.

Assembly:

Place the extra-large strip from the edge of the neck over the curve of the shoulder, center the 3 large strips just off the tip and attach, place 1 medium strip next on each side of the first strip, follow these with 1 small on the bottom side and then 1 extra small on the bottom side. Repeat on the other side. Leave enough room between each piece to allow black to show through between them. (After I created the wings, I decided to replace the top two strips seen in the picture with the wings for placement.)

Follow these with 2 small on the front and then 1 extra small on the back. (After both sides are attached there will be just enough room for 1 small between them in the back.)
