!  The first column is recommended to be made in the loop, following the fixing column on the details of the ear.

 Leave the thread for sewing!  Hide the beginning tip.

Sewing on legs

 First, set 2 pins under each other: the 1st between the 22nd and 23rd rows, and the second between the 27th and 28th rows.  From the top pin, count 8 columns in both directions, set the pins.  From the bottom pin - 4 columns on both sides, set the pins.  The places marked with the upper pins are the tops of the toes of the legs, the lower ones are the tops of the heels of the legs.  Position the legs as shown in the photo, secure with pins.  Check symmetry.  Sew the legs to the body, alternately grabbing the columns of the canvas, then the legs, then the torso.  In this case, you need to firmly press the leg to the body so that sewing occurs along the maximum perimeter of contact between the parts.

Thread attachment of the arms 

 Mark the entry and exit points of the needle for thread fastening with pins.  The pins are set between the 3rd and 4th row from the point of transition of the head to the body approximately above the tops of the toes of the legs.  Check symmetry.

 1. The needle is inserted in the marked place on the left side of the mouse and is withdrawn through the right side in the place marked with a pin (see photo (a))

 2. The needle with the thread is pulled out so that the tip for tying into a knot remains on the left side.

 3. The needle is passed through the arm under the last row, while 2 columns are stuck (see (b).

 4. Then the needle is inserted in the same place of the body on the right side where the thread comes out (c), and is withdrawn from the left side in the same place where the tip of the thread comes out (d).

 5. The left hand is strung on a thread, as well as the right (e).  Repeat steps 1-5 again for strength (f).

 6. At the end, after pulling the thread through the left hand, you need to pull all the threads by the ends so that the hands fit snugly against the body and it stretches a little (g, h).

 7. Tie the ends with several strong knots (i) and bring them through the body into the hole under the knot (the knot will hide deep under the canvas).

SEWING ON THE EARS

 Placement : APPROXIMATELY IN ONE LINE with the arms SEWED EDGE.  DISTANCE FROM THE CENTER OF THE AMIGURUMI RING TO THE NEAREST EDGE OF EACH EAR 4 ROWS.  VERIFICATION OF SYMMETRY FROM ALL SIDES is obligatory.  AFTER CHECKING THE EARS, FIX WITH PINS.  SEW THE EARS WITH THE LEFT THREAD FIRST ON THE INSIDE OF THE EAR (FRONT), THEN ON THE OUTSIDE (BACK).  AT THE SAME TIME THE HALF-LOOPS AROUND THE EDGE OF THE EAR AND THE PILLARS OF THE CLOTH OF THE BODY ALTERNATELY ARE SETTLED.  AT THE END, FIX THE THREAD, HIDE THE END.

 TAIL

 LOCATION OF THE TAIL, - ON THE 26TH ROW (IN THE CENTER, BETWEEN THE LEGS), - MARK WITH A PIN.  MAKE Sc BY HANGING ON THE FABRIC IN THE PLACE MARKED WITH A PIN.  Crochet A CHAIN ​​OF 26 sc.  KNIT IN A CHAIN ​​25 st on the back ARCHES
