Insert the needle with thread from the back into the occipital part, bring it out to P1, insert it into P2, pulling the thread to the occipital part. Tighten (a gathering is formed). Repeat the same steps with the second side: bring out to P3 and insert into P4.
Next, sew on the muzzle, remembering to fill it with stuffing. Embroider the nose with black cotton thread. Glue the eyes. Embroider the whites, eyelashes, and eyebrows. Sew the ears in a suitable place.
