Head is complete – now to work on body.

Body:

Ch 2

Rnd 1: Work 5 sc in sec ch from hook = 5 sc

Rnd 2: Work 2 sc in ea sc around = 10 sc

Rnd 3: *Sc in first sc, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat from * around = 15 sc

Rnd 4: *Sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat from * around = 20 sc

Rnd 5: *Sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat from * around = 25 sc

Rnd 6-13: Sc around

Rnd 14: *Sc in next 3 sc, sc 2tog*, repeat from * around = 20 sc

Rnd 15: *Sc in next 2 sc, sc 2tog*, repeat from * around = 15 sc

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Stuff body firmly. Sew opening closed. Flatten bottom.

Attaching the Zipper:

1. Trim the zipper to 2-1/2” (or the length of your completed body.) Measure from the center top all the

way down to bottom part of body. If you can find a 3” metal zipper, that would be ideal, but I found it

difficult to find. I used a 4" zipper and used metal cutting scissors to trim the metal portion of the zipper.

I trimmed the sides down as well. I found it easier to glue the zipper down to the body. This way there

are no stitch marks.

2. Pin the zipper to the body with the top part of the zipper (just above the metal flap) fitted over the

top part of the body. When you place the head it will not show.

3. Sew the head on to the body - the top part of the zipper should be concealed when the head is sewn.

4. Attach head firmly.

5. Apply a liberal amount of glue on to the back of the zipper and press down against the body.

6. Hold down for a few seconds. Keep pressing the zipper down intermittently. Make sure all edges are

glued. Allow to dry.

7. Apply a thin strip of glue right at the edges of the zipper all around– use a toothpick to apply the glue.

(See Fig 1)

8. Use the yarn left from attaching the head - you will glue this yarn at the edge of the zipper. This will

finish the edges and prevent fraying. Press down firmly and allow to dry. (See Fig 2)
