Around the edge of the collar, stitch on a yellow border, just like how Dumbo’s collar should look like.

Assembling

For every Amigurumi I put together, I use sewing pins first. This way you can easily move the parts around until you are happy.

Sew the inside of the ears to the outside of the ears, if you do this first, you can just move on to complete it.
Sew the snout on first, just under the middle of the face. This way you have a point to measure the other parts from.
The Collar will go on next, between row 14/15 of the body. In front of the collar you will position the hat and the ears and sew those on too.
just behind the Collar, around his belly his 2 front legs will go, the other to near the end of the body.
And last but not least, sew on his tail!
Make his eyes and other facial features from either felt or you can choose to embroider them on, just what look you like more and what you are comfortable with.

And Dumbo is already Finished, he is so cute and I am so happy I finally finished him. To be honest, I started him years ago and I just never finished it, weird. Oh well, at least we have him all done now! I hope you enjoyed this pattern and I’ll see you next week.

Love
