Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing pieces.
Embroider a nose with pink yarn. Sew the muzzle to
the head, stuffing in the process.
Sew the ears on.
Now we will do the eye tightening. Enter a needle
with a strong thread behind the head between the last
round of the neck and the first round of the head.
Output the needle at the first eye. From it to the
second eye. Pull back to the starting point. Tighten,
make a knot, hide the tips.

Mustache

Cut the fishing line 50 cm long into 4 equal parts.
Using a hook or a needle, attach the mustache to the
muzzle – 2 pcs. on each side.
Further, bring our mustache to the opposite side of
the muzzle using a needle. So their fastening will be
more reliable.
First, fix the mustache between rounds 2 and 3 of
the muzzle, and then output them between rounds 3
and 4.
How do I do this, watch the video (click on the icon):
Trim the mustache so that they become 2 cm long.
