Thread Attachment 

Arms 

Sew to the body between rows 18 and 19. 

At point 1, we have the arm where we didn’t cut the thread. Insert the thread into point 2, then into point 3. Next, insert the thread into point 4 and pull out at a distance of 1 sc. Then back into point 3, 2, and 1. Tighten the arms as you go to prevent them from dangling. 

Legs 

Sew to the body between rows 6 and 7. 

At point 5, we have the leg where we didn’t cut the thread. Insert the thread into point 6, then into point 7. Next, insert the thread into point 8 and pull out at a distance of 1 sc. Then back into point 7, 6, and 5. Tighten the legs as you go to prevent them from dangling. 

The Tiger Cub is ready!
