Zara The Zebra

I recommend pinning the parts together before sewing the animal together.

Attach the body to the head at around R14-R20 of the head .

Attach the ears to the head, at a slight angle, between R11-R13 of the head.

One on each side of the head.

Attach the front legs to the body at the neckline, next to each other.

When attaching, face the feet forward.

Attach the back feet to the body between R5-R9. One on each side.

When attaching, the increases face upward.

Adding Hair:

Cut 4 inch strips of gray and white yarn.

Place your hook between R14-R15 of the head - in the middle of the head.

Place one gray and one white piece of yarn onto the hook.

Pull the yarn through the stitch stopping halfway. You'll have a large loop on one side and loose yarn on the other.

Insert the loose end of the yarn through the loop.

Tighten the yarn at the base of the head.

Keep adding sections of hair by moving down a stitch.

Keep going until you reach the end of the head. Feel free to add hair at the back of the body for a tail.

When you have all the hair attached, trim if needed.

Weave in all the excess pieces of yarn into the body.

Please be aware that amigurumi contains small pieces and can be dangerous to children.
