Assembly of Crochet Fennekin
Assemble as shown in pictures- be sure to pin limbs in place before sewing to properly adjust position.

Legs: Attach the feet to the legs, sewing on the feet to cover the hole at the end of each leg.

Body: Pin the limbs to the body: Attach the tail to the back, the legs to the sides, and the arms above and ‘in between; the legs/feet – Fennekin is in a sitting position.

Head: On my Fennekin, I positioned the ‘jog’ from the color change of white to yellow at the very back of the head. Opposite this, within the white region, sew on the snout. To either side of the snout (and still just within the white region), sew on the whiskers. Finally, sew the ears to the top and either side of the head above the whiskers, and sew on the inner ear pieces within the ears.

The eyes were made by needle felting loose yarn ends . Alternatively, one can cut out and attach colored felt pieces. The eyebrows and mouth were made by embroidery thread and needle.
