Assembly
Head and Body:
1. If you crocheted the beard. Place the beard approximately between rounds 27 and 28
of the body. Sew the beard onto the face.
2. If you want the brushed beard look. Attach a row of double stranded yarn approximately between rounds 27 and 28. You will want 18 strands of white yarn cut approximately 6 inches in length.
Make one row. Then repeat 2 more rows underneath that first row. Brush the yarn out with a wire pet brush. You will lose a lot of yarn during this process.
Nose:
1. Pin the nose above your beard.
2. Sew the nose onto the body.
Hat:
1. Pin the hat onto the head going around the nose.
2. Sew the hat onto the head but not onto the nose.
Arms:
1. Pin the arms onto the side of the body.
2. Sew the arms onto the body.
Legs:
1. Turn the body upside down and pin the legs onto the bottom of the body.
2. Sew the legs onto the body.
