Assembly:

Step 1: Face and Legs
Embroider the nose in the center of the front panel.
so that the lower part slightly affected the bottom
the belly. Next install the eyes (12
mm) or embroider happy eyes with a black thread for embroidery. For the muzzle author used as
thread for knitting, and thread for embroidery. You can use the one you like the most.
Embroider the cheeks.
Next, sew the legs to the bottom of the front panel with a brown thread. For a small otter by
I did not knit my nose, but embroidered separately with black yarn and used 9 mm eyes.
Step 2: Body, Hands and Ears
Now we begin to tie up the parts of the place, here are the parts that you should already have:
Attach the two panels to each other and begin to tie them.

** Make sure the front part of the otter is facing you. **
We begin to tie up on the left side and tie up the details so that the threads match in color with
details. Those. if you tie your head, then you knit with a brown thread, and if your cheeks, then cream.
After you tie the cheek, change the thread, but do not knit, and take the foot. Put it up
details and knit it together with the body, i.e. knit through 3 parts at once. The hand should look at the belly.
The photo below shows how the author knit 2 hands, but for 1 the same technique was used.

We knit further, when you reach the tail, then place the tail inside the panels and sew the tail separately
needle, then tie just the bottom of the front panel, because the bottom is already stitched. Further
we knit further, we knit the arm, then we change the thread to cream in the cheeks and back to the brown thread.
When you reach the ear, place it also between the panels and sew it up like a tail after that.
Just knit the front panel, because the part where the ear will be stitched. Field of this knit up
the next ear and repeat everything too for him. Do not forget to stuff the body when you tie the details.
Close knitting ss and close knitting.
For the baby, we also use the description of the assembly, only you do not need to change the color of the thread.
