We insert the legs between 11 – 12 rows (check in which row the legs will
look better for your toy). We fix the joint. The tip of the leg of the joint can be
melted with a lighter and slightly flattened for a more secure attachment.
** if the legs will be tied in, then make sure that the marker goes over the
body exactly from behind, in the middle of the back, without displacement. If
necessary, knit another 1-2 sc and reposition the marker.
For legs in rows 11-12 – 10 sc, 6 sc (knit in the leg), 16 sc, 6 sc (knit in the

We insert the handles between 21 – 22 rows (check in which row the
handles will look better for your toy). We fix the joint. The tip of the joint leg can
be melted with a lighter and slightly flattened for a more secure attachment.
*** If the handles will be knitted: in rows 21-23 we knit 5 sc, 6 sc (we knit a
handle), 8 sc, 6 sc (we knit a handle), 5 sc (24)
25. (3 sc, dec) * 6 (24)
****if you are going to tie the head, next row, start the head pattern from
the 5th row and then knit according to the scheme. But then do not forget that the
eyes are inserted in 11-12 rows. Also (without the use of joints) the head can be
sewn.
26. (2 sc, dec) * 6 (18)
27. (1 sc, dec) * 6 (12)
Fill as tightly as possible, insert the joint. We knit the decreases to the end,
until the base of the joint is closed.
*****To tie the bear (In a dress or skirt), after the 15th row, change the
color of the body to the color of the clothes, knit:
16. 36 sc (36)
17. 36 sc (36) (through back loops only)
Further according to the pattern. To give the skirt a shape in the 17th row
crochet through front loops only 3 hdc in one loop. Another row of hdc. We tie
one more row with simple sc.

We put the head on the leg of the joint, in the very center of knitting, closing
the joint. Fill as you knit, more tightly.
* * When using a joints or knitting, the beginning of the row goes from the
bottom of the head. When sewing on, the opposite is true. Therefore, you need to
carefully monitor which row to insert the eyes
10. – 17. 54 sc (54)
We insert the eyes in rows 11-12 (there is a distance of 1 column between
the eyes). If the head will be sewn on, we insert the eyes in about 14-15 rows (the
beginning of the row from the top).

Scarf:
For a scarf, make a chain of 60 ch, and starting from the second loop from
the hook, knit several (3-5) rows in turning rows. We start the next rows with ch1.
* We choose the length of the scarf according to the size of your toy. The
larger the ch chain, the longer the scarf
Assembling a toy:
Sew the muzzle right under the eyes (do not stuff). Sew the ears between the
16-22 row of the head (the beginning of the row from the bottom). Sew the tail
between about 8-10 row the body.
We embroider stitches on the forehead, tummy, on the sides of the arms and
legs. For this we take black sewing threads of 4-6 threads. I do not advise taking
too thick threads.
Sew the cap on the side of the head. Sew a decorative button to the scarf.
