ch, Inv dec around, slst, ch

Fasten off. Trim near the knot. Apply tiny craft glue to the end and shape it pointy.

Slightly pull the white and brown yarn end brought from the tip of the tail, tie them closely with the yarn tail at the beginning of the tail, compress the length of the tail so that it curves a little. Knot the yarn to secure nicely.

If you do not have a stitch marker to mark the beginning of the round, you can always use a short length of yarn to do the marking. Cross the yarn across at the first stitch as your work on each round.
Pull to remove the marking yarn after you have finished the part.

Sometimes we might want to weigh our amigurumi a little heavier on the limbs or other parts of the body, you may use the doll pellets or plastic beads to do that. Just fill the tiny pellets into a small bag, sew to close the opening. I like to use socks to make the pellets’ bag because of the stretchable property of the knit.

Assembly;

These are the parts of the MooMoo Cow before assembly.

Place the Nose to the Head of MooMoo Cow, just below the eyes, pin to secure the position.
Sew around with darning or tapestry needle, stuff the nose with polyester fiberfill at about 1″ before completing the nose sewing. Sew to close the gap after filling.
Make to dented points on the nose by stitching them into the head.

Position the ears and horns, pin and sew.

Attach the head to the body by sewing them together. I sewed the body a little off to the back of the head so that the back of the head and the back of the body is aligned.
