Assembling

Whenever I start assembling Amigurumi’s, I use sewing pins to put all things together first. This way I can move them around until I am happy with how it looks.

Put his snout in between his eyes, slightly lower, and sew it on. Eventually, make, with some black yarn, his nostrils.
Put his tail on his lower back, pointing downwards. And sew it on.

And that was it already for Dibo! Quick and easy pattern for you to enjoy!

Have a wonderful day!

Love
