Now go around the ear and sc in each row and stitch. 2 sc in each of the bottom corners and join with a sl st at the top. Refer to the diagram. Your ending tail will be on top. Leaving a long tail for sewing, fasten off and weave in that top tail to bring it to one of the bottom corners of the ear. We will use that tail to sew the ears to the head.
— Assembly :
Note :
While I was sewing the pieces together, I was experimenting with the eye size. In some pictures, I used 4 mm eyes and in others – 3 mm eye. At the end, I thought the 3 mm eyes look better.
Item 1 (Muzzle) :
The top (where we did hdc and dc) is sewn in the space between Rounds 5 and 6 and the bottom – in the space between Rounds 11 and 12. Before finishing, stuff the muzzle as much as you can. Once you are done sewing the muzzle, create a little triangle right above with the tail left from sewing. Only sew the dc stitches of the muzzle. Refer to Pictures 2E and 2F. Once you create the little triangle, sew a line going up 3 rounds from the top of the triangle (Picture 2G) I sewed twice. Secure the stitches.
Item 2 (Nose) :
Create a little triangle with black thread (Picture 2H). Then keep sewing until you fill it completely. Picture 2I
Item 3 (Ears) :
The ears are sewn at an angle. The top is sewn between Rounds 2 and 3 and the bottom is sewn between Rounds 6 and 7. If the ears are leaning forward, insert the needle through the round of the ear right above the one that we attached to the head (Picture 2K) and pulling back sew it to the head. This should bring the ears back up. I used a permanent fabric marker to add the black to the top of the ears. You can also sew it.
Item 4 (Tail) :
Sew the tail to close (Picture 2M) and then sew the tail to the back of the body, about 3 spaces above the legs. Picture 2N
Item 5 (Chest) :
Using color Natural, cross stitch the chest area. Do 3 cross stitches on Round 14 of the body and 1 cross stitch in Round 15. Because this is such a small doll, you may need to pull the needle through the back of the body in order to cross stitch. Picture 2O

Earlier we left 2 chains and 5 stitches to make the sleeves. Additionally, on both sides where the chain meets a stitch, there is an extra space.
