Do not cut off the yarn. If you use safety eyes, put them in place after Rnd 5, between two ears, 5-6 sts apart.
ASSEMBLING THE BODY
Sew the shells together by making sl st all along Rnd 8 of both shells: using Front Loops only, insert the hook through next st of the upper shell, then insert the hook through corresponding st of the lower shell, yarn over and pull through both loops on hook, one sl st done.
Repeat 34 more times, stuff your Catcaron when you are 6-7 sts to the end. Do not cut off and continue making the tail. You might cut off if you find it easier to work each piece separately or want to change tail’s color.
TAIL
With color B, make a Romanian cord of 25 sts (swipe to see video).
- Cut off and leave a long tail for sewing.
- Curve Catcaron’s tail as you wish and use the yarn thread to fix the posture.
- Secure the tail at the joint with body and weave in the remaining thread.
