ASSEMBLY
1. Stuff the head lightly. With your Pet Slicker Brush, brush your amigurumi head vigorously and strongly. It will take some time, but you will see a halo start to form. Keep Brushing and the fiber will get more fluffier and longer. See the video tutorial for visual reference. Finish stuffing the head more firmly.

2. Stuff snout lightly and sew onto Head (but if you have a safety nose, you’ll want to place that on before you sew on snout to head). Placement is 3 rounds up from last row of head (count from bottom up). Brush out with Pet Slicker Brush.

3. Sew the Ears to the Head. Then brush out with Pet Slicker Brush. For the top of the head I like to brush upward. On bottom of snout, I like to brush downward. As the fibers get fluffy you can also style the fur to go in the direction you wish.

4. Sew on Eyes to head (16mm shank buttons) or you can use safety eyes. If you haven’t done so, sew on nose (19mm shank button) to middle of snout.

5. Brush out Body. Sew Head to Body.

6. Stuff the Legs. Sew onto Body. Brush out Legs.

7. Brush out tail. Sew onto end of Body.

8. Make sure to hide all ends.

9. Finish brushing out to your satisfaction.
