Assembly and Finishing 

Mark the position of the eyes with pins. The pins should be placed between the 11th and 12th rows and between 11 sc apart. 

Place additional pins to determine the center. Fold the ears as shown in the photo. 

Attach the ears to the head and fix them with pins. Place the ears starting from the 25th row and between 16 sc apart. Sew the ears with thin yarn in the body color, first along the top, then along the bottom. Secure and hide the threads. 

Make eyelids. Take a long needle and a long thread in the body color. Thread the needle into the remaining hole and pull it out to the right eye, slightly to the right of the pin. Thread the needle into the right eye, slightly to the left of the pin and pull it out to the hole. Thread the needle into the remaining hole and pull it out to the left eye, slightly to the left of the pin. Thread the needle into the left eye, slightly to the right of the pin and pull it out to the hole. Tighten both threads, if necessary, you can make the eyelids again. Tie the threads together, cut them off, and hide them. 

Attach the eyes. Place the pupil, the upper part should be between the 8th and 9th rows. Sew with thin pink thread behind the left semiloops of the 7th row. Embroider the whites of the eyes with white yarn. Embroider the rays from the smile near the eyes with brown yarn. Embroider the eyebrows with brown yarn in three stitches. Lay out the smile first with thread, then repeat this outline with pins. Pass with thin brown thread, making stitches from pin to pin and back, inserting the needle into these same points. Then these stitches need to be, as if twisted with thread. Do this from top to bottom, inserting the needle under the stitch. Wrap 2 or 3 times for each stitch. Thanks to this, the smile line will be smooth. Pull the thread into the remaining hole, tie and hide. Hide all threads in the remaining hole, if necessary, add filler and close the hole. Secure the thread and hide. 

Place the arms on the body. The left arm goes slightly lower than the right one. Fix with pins and sew to the body with thin yarn in body color after the hoof. Tie the threads together and hide them. 

Hat 

The hat from Natalia Spiridonova’s free tutorial fits perfectly in size and shape. To have a recess in the hat, sew it from the wrong side, stepping back from the edge by 0.5-0.7 cm. Try on the hat and fix with pins. Sew to the head with thin yarn in body color and insert filler inside to hold its shape. Tie the threads together and hide them.
