Assembly

1. We fill the tail with filler and sew it in the center of the back by about 11 13 rows of the torso.
2. Sew a white belly on the center of the belly. If you want it to be more convex, you can fill it. We embroider a black cross in the center.
3. On the hind and front paws, we make 3 fingers each with two constrictions. Take the needle with white thread, pierce the foot through and through and wrap the thread around the foot and again insert the needle into the same place. You can make a couple of turns for each finger for reliability.
4. Draw the white of the eye with a black thread (knot on the back side) so that he seemed to be divided into 2 halves. The upper point of the constriction is the fourth loop in the 7th squirrel row (sc), the bottom point is the opposite side.
5. Sew the pupils to the squirrel as in the photo. And then we sew the protein to the head in the center. between the stripes. The squirrels should protrude beyond the black stripes above and below approximately
3 rows (see photo).

6. Now sew on the muzzle 1. Apply it directly under the eyes. Bottom edge it turns out right at the hole in the head. We pin it with pins, add under the bottom filler. And we begin to sew in a circle, continuing to add filler.

We make sure that it turns out symmetrically.
7. Lightly stuff the nose and sew in the center to the muzzle 2. The nose should be slightly flattened rather than round. To do this, when sewing on the nose, you can grab the top of the nose with a thread and pull it to the muzzle. Then muzzle 2 sew on top of the muzzle 1. Also, first, pin it with pins. We look position: muzzle 2 should be right under the eyes, bottom of muzzle 2 by about 1 a row below the center of the muzzle 1 (see photo). Sew on muzzle 2, stuff it in the process filler.

8. With the help of pins, we simulate the future smile of our tiger cub. Prick pins where the lower lip will go. Between my lip and muzzle 2 it turned out 3 rows. Knit along the line of the sc pins. Do not loop too often, otherwise the lip will turn outward. I got 22 loops.
9. Knit 4 rows of sc in pivoting rows.

10. We wrap the lip part inward, sew to Muzzle 1 along the set line loops, press the corners of the lower lip to Muzzle 2, sew them.
11. Cut out the details for our mouth from black and red felt. Black detail cut out by fitting to the shape of the mouth. Red detail (tongue) – a square with rounded corners. We glue them together with Moment Crystal glue. Glue the mouth in place with the same glue. We embroider the corners of the mouth with black thread.

12. Ears are lightly stuffed with filler so that they keep their shape. We sew them to the head in an arc (see photo). The sewing position is marked with a red line. Black Sew part of the ear with black thread, and white with white. Assembly sequence you can choose whichever is more convenient for you. I did it in different ways: first muzzle, then ears and vice versa.
13. Sew on eyebrows. There are 3 rows between the whites of the eye and the eyebrows. To the 1st row of the head we sew 3 forelocks. Twist them slightly on your finger so that they curl.

14. The last action: we put the head on the black neck until it stops. We do a little head tilt forward. From the back, the black neck will be visible 1-2 rows. Sew on the head. Our tiger cub is ready!
