2. (1sc, inc) * 3 = 9
3.9 sc

Pull the hinges
Further along the foot from the center of the heel in a circle, crocheting between the loops, knit 18 sc.
If you are not familiar with this method, you can dial a chain of 18 ch, close it in a ring and knit in a circle. Then sew to the foot.
The marker runs down the center of the back of the leg. Align.

Pull off the hinges
Fill the upper part of the thigh loosely, so that when sewn, they do not stick out strongly to the sides. Fill the bottom of the paws tightly, highlighting the back knee with padding polyester.
Arms
Feet fit in the same way as the back.

Embroider claws with one stitch on your fingers
Tail
Black stripes can be made arbitrarily. For example, every 2 rows, as well as on the legs
1. Into magic ring 6 sc
2. (1sc, inc) * 3 = 9
Stuffing along the way is very loose, you can insert the wire and push it deeper into the body.
3-28.9 sc
29. (2sc, dec) * 2, 1sc = 7
30-34.7sc
Leave the thread for sewing.
Sew the tail under the first black stripe
Sew the hind paws to the body, so that the part of the body protrudes above and slightly behind them. Flatten the hips and press them more tightly to the body, secure with needles and sew.
Make sure they are symmetrical.
The front legs are sewn in the same way, but make sure that the feet are level with the hind legs. For convenience, you can pierce one front leg with a knitting needle, then the body and the other leg and put the tiger cub. If it is stable, you can sew on. If not, then you need to correct your legs (raise or lower).
Head
We start with white.
1. Into magic ring 6sc
2. (inc) * 6 = 12
3. (1sc, inc) * 6 = 18
4. (2sc, inc) * 6 = 24
5-7. 24 sc
The marker goes down the center of the bottom of the head. In the process of knitting, align the offset loops so that it goes strictly in the center.

Pull off the hinges
Pad on the nose.
We knit in rotary rows
1.Kit in the center from the left sts 10 sc

Sew on after nose tightening.
Nose tightening.
Insert the needle from the bottom of the muzzle between 7 and 8 rows, bring it out above the ka by 3 rows, throw the thread over the top of the muzzle and re-insert the needle from the bottom and up. Tighten.
Sew an overlay on the muzzle on top.
Eye tightening.
Look at the photo.
Insert the needle from the bottom of the head into the first red row, bring it into the eye area (this is the first extra row of hdc and the edge of the bridge on the nose and grab 3 sc to the bridge of the nose) and return back down. Pull off.
The second is similar. Between the eyes 12 hdc
Nose

Fold piece lengthwise and work through both sides 9 sc
Sew straight side up, oval down.
Embroider with a thin thread (I took ordinary sewing threads) along the white part of the muzzle of the line
The lower part of the muzzle
