Stuff the entire piece tightly. Make a button fastening. Insert a button with a strong thread threaded through it into the part. Pull both ends of the thread out.
Knit further:
Row 33: 6 dec (=6).
Carefully tighten the hole, fasten the thread and cut it off. Hide the tip in the detail.
The ends of the thread from the button fastening are stuck out; they will be needed later.

At this stage, you need to connect the body and the unknitted head with a button fastening. The ends of the thread that stick out from the body must be pulled between the 27th and 28th rows of the head from the outside inwards. Take the second button and thread the ends of a strong thread through it inside the head. Tie tightly. There is no need to cut the thread, it will remain inside.

Assembly
– Arms and legs are attached to the body with thread fastening (see picture)
– If the head is loose, sew it on.
– Sew the eyes next to each other right above the nose. Pupils in a bunch.
– Bend the mustache eyebrows in half and carefully sew them on top between the eyes.
– Sew the wings in the middle to the body.
– Anyone who wants can embroider a smiley mouth (optional, I didn’t embroider)
