Shaping – Tiger Jack
Take a long needle with strong thread (I used black from YarnArt Jeans), insert it into the middle of the mouth, leaving a tail, and bring it out at the bottom outer corner of one eye. Insert into the bottom inner corner of the eye, and bring it out at the bottom inner corner of the other eye. Insert into the bottom outer corner of the eye and bring it out in the middle of the mouth. Pull tight and make several knots. You can leave the thread to make additional indentations.
Insert the needle into the middle of the mouth, bring it out at the inner lower corner of one eye. Insert into the upper inner corner of the eye, and bring it out at the upper inner corner of the other eye.
Tiger amigurumi – Insert into the inner lower corner of the eye and bring it out in the mouth. Pull tight and make several knots. Do not cut the thread.
Then, insert the needle into the bottom edge of the nose and bring it out in the mouth, pulling tight. If it’s not tight enough, you can repeat the process.
With the same thread (if it’s black), you can embroider the nostrils on the muzzle.
Embroidering the Eyeballs and Eye Contour
Take a needle with white yarn, insert it into the middle of the spot where the head will be attached to the body (I recommend fitting it first). Leaving a tail, bring the needle out at the outer edge of the eye (at the bottom). Move up approximately 1-2 rounds, insert the needle, and bring it out at the other eye on the opposite side. Do the same, moving 1-2 rounds down, and bring it out in the middle of the head. If necessary, repeat the process for a pronounced eyeball. Make several knots and cut the yarn.
Next, take a needle with brown yarn, insert it into the same spot (middle of the head). Bring the needle out at the upper inner part of the eye, insert it 1 stitch to the side of the white yarn. Bring the needle out at the other eye and do the same. Then, bring the needle out at the lower inner part of the eye, insert it next to the white yarn at the edge of the brown yarn. Bring the needle out at the lower part of the other eye, and do the same. Bring the needle out in the middle of the head, make several knots, and cut the yarn.
Whiskers
I recommend marking with pins where you would like the whiskers to be placed. I didn’t mark them, so I will refer to them as points A and B. Insert the needle with fishing line into point A, leaving a tail of about 5 cm. Bring it out on the opposite side, at point B. Shift 1 stitch to the side, insert the needle, and bring it out at point A. Shift 1 stitch from point A, insert the needle, and bring it out at point B. Cut the fishing line, leaving a length of about 5 cm. Repeat the process for the other whiskers.
Ears (2 pcs) – Tiger Jack
The ear consists of 2 parts, white and orange. Crochet all parts in turning rows, the same way.
Chain 2, starting from the 2nd chain from the hook:
1st round – 5 sc, ch, turn (5)
2nd round – 2 sc; Dinc; 2 sc; ch; turn (7)
3rd round – 3 sc; Dinc; 3 sc; ch; turn (9)
4th round – 4 sc; (Hdc; Dc; Hdc) in one stitch; 4 sc (11)
Secure the yarn and cut it. Join the 2 parts (orange and white) so that the white (inner) part of the ear faces you. Join the brown yarn, and crochet through both layers of the ear parts: 10 sc; 3 sc in one stitch (top); 10 sc. Secure the yarn, cut it, leaving a tail for sewing. Crochet the second ear.
Sew the ears onto the head.
Sew the head onto the body.
