Sew the legs on both sides between rounds 27 and 28. Sew the tail to the back bottom. The nose is embroidered between 11 and 12 rounds and is 2-3 stitches long. Sew the eyes on the round 11, leave 2 stitches between the nose and eyes.
If you crocheted with some fluffy yarn, use the velcro tape to comb the toy and make it more fluffy.
