Secure and cut the thread.
Assembly:
Divide the head into 4 equal parts by marking points on the head and close to the neck.
Thread a long needle with thread (dark brown Iris color) and insert it into the head, coming out as close to the neck as possible, leaving a long thread tail on the head. Insert the needle back into the head at the opposite point (exit at point 1, insert at point 2), and come out at the base of the neck. Do the same for the other two parts of the head. Do not pull the thread too tight, or the head will be too constricted.
After dividing the head, sew the tail to it, and attach the leaf to the tail.
Find a suitable position for the muzzle, mark the center and the lower part with pins. Tighten the eyes as follows:
Points 1 and 3 are located on the SC stitches to the left and right of the center of the future muzzle and 2 rows above its bottom.
Points 2 and 4 are 2 SC away from points 1 and 3.
Tighten diagonally by inserting the needle as close to the neck as possible and exiting at the base of the neck (exit at point 1, insert at point 2, and exit at the base of the neck).
Secure the muzzle with pins again, mark the tightening spots on it, and make holes for the eyes. You can glue or sew the muzzle in place. Glue the eyes. Embroider eyebrows, nose, smile, and stitches on the muzzle as desired to complete the face.
Scarf:
Make a chain of stitches that fits around the neck + 1-2 cm (e.g., 40 CH + 1 CH for turning).
1 Row: (SC, HDC) in the 1st CH, skip the next CH, repeat to the end of the row. Finish the row with HDC and 1 CH for turning.
2 Row: Skip SC, work (HDC, SC) in the HDC stitches, repeat to the end of the row. Finish the row with HDC and 1 CH for turning.
3 Row: (SC, HDC) in the HDC stitches, skip SC. Repeat to the end of the row. Finish the row with SC.
Repeat rows 2 and 3 until you reach the desired width of the scarf. Finish the last row with SC.
Once you’ve crocheted the scarf, sew it onto the toy. You can also embellish it with decorative buttons if desired.
