forming and assembling:

Decorate the muzzle. First, make tightening, focusing on the photo. For mark the location of the peephole with pins (points 1 and 2 in the photo), which are located between 12 and 13 row, the distance between points is 8Sc. Visually mark points 3 and 4 which are located on distance 1Sc from points 1 and 2, respectively.

Insert a long needle with thread into the base of the head and bring it into point 1. Then insert the needle at point 3 and bring it to the base of the head. For strength can be repeated tightening one more time.

Similarly, tighten the second eyes, but in this case from the base head, bring the needle out at point 2.

Then insert the needle at point 4 and bring it back to the base.

Pull the ends and tie a knot.

Sew eyes in the places of the ties – beads. Make a white thread stitches around the eyelet to look turned out to be more “alive”. Over embroider with eyes with black thread eyebrows, pink – cheeks (below the level of the peephole, between 14 and 15 beside).

Pin your head to torso.

Sew firmly in a circle, and when a small hole will remain – add more filler in between head and neck, then sew to end.

Between 6 and 7 near the torso outline the places where the legs are located. Sew them on with using a thread attachment. IN use the same thread as the yarn with which the body was knitted.

Skirt:

Attach a white thread and knit 12 rows by the front half-loops.

Knit in a circle, each row, starting with lifting sts and ending with Sl-st.

1st row: 3Ch, İnc from Dc to each loop (84 Dc)

2-3 rows: 3Ch, 84 Dc (84 Dc)

4th row: 1Ch, 84Sc (84Sc)

Fasten the thread, cut off, hide the end of the thread.

Between 20 and 21 side by side sew the handles symmetrically.

Sew on the front for decoration decorative buttons.

Carapace:

Bottom part:

1st row: 6Sc in MR

2nd row: İnc in each loop (12Sc)

3rd row: (1Sc, İnc) * 6 (18Sc)

4th row: 1Sc, İnc, (2Sc, İnc) * 5, 1 Sc (24Sc)

5th row: (3Sc, İnc) * 6 (30Sc)

6th row: 2Sc, İnc, (4Sc, İnc) * 5, 2Sc (36Sc)

7th row: (5Sc, İnc) * 6 (42Sc)

Finish knitting Sl-st, fasten the thread, cut, hide the end of the thread.

Top part:

1st row: 6Sc in MR

2nd row: İnc in each loop (12Sc)

Knit the third and all subsequent rows behind the back wall of the loop.

3rd row: (1Sc, İnc) * 6 (18Sc)

4th row: 1Sc, İnc, (2Sc, İnc) * 5, 1 Sc (24Sc)

7th row: (5Sc, İnc) * 6 (42Sc)

8-9 rows: 42Sc (2 rows)

Do not cut the thread, but continue knitting.

Fold the two parts of the shell with the wrong side inward and connect, knitting 42 Sc. When there is a small hole, put it inside filler, fill not very tightly. Continue knitting and close hole to the end, do not cut the thread.

Cast a chain of 20 Ch, count down on the carapace 10Sc and in the 11th Sc attach the chain with a connecting post. Fasten the thread and cut off. From the first point (where the Ch chain was knitted) count 8Sc and attach a new thread into this loop.

Tie and attach the second strap in the same way.

Try on the carapace on the back, it should hold well (if the carapace dangles or, conversely, is difficult to dress, change the amount of Ch in straps).

Hide all the ends of the threads inside.
