Fasten and cut the thread, leaving the required length for sewing.

Insert spout between 3 and 4 side by side.

Sew the muzzle to the head so that the distance to the lower edge of the eyes is as small as possible. Don’t forget to add filler!

IMPORTANT! To make the junctions of the black and orange threads on the body invisible, we turn this side exactly in front. And based on this position, we sew the muzzle to the head.

Ears.

We knit 2 identical parts.

2.6 inc (12)

3. (1 sc, inc)*6 (18)

4. (2 sc, inc)*6 (24)

Ears sew symmetrically to the head.

Next, we knit the breast in white from Alize Softy (or Softy Plus) in the shape of an oval according to any pattern or arbitrarily so that it fits the size of the toy from the 25th-26th row to the neck level. Symmetrically sew to the body. If the breast is the right size, then it will completely cover the junctions of the black and orange threads.

Next, embroider the eyebrows and muzzle with a black thread and the eyelids above the eyes with an orange thread.

Congratulations, your tiger cub is ready!
