Cut the yarn. Leave a long tail for sewing the hole
Arms
Now take your wire and bend it - it depends on the thickness of your
wire!! I bent it twice because my wire is thin.
The length of my Marcus' arm is about 50 cm *19,6 inch* (there should
be a few cm to spare) - So a total of 100 cm *39 inch*
Insert your wire in the designated place
Now wrap the wire tightly with the yarn - when you finish the first
arm, secure it by sewing it to the body - so that it does not move
Legs
Do the same as with Marcus' arms.
My Marcus's legs are about 40cm *
15.7 inch* long, so a total of 80cm *
31.5 inch*
Hands
Shape the wire into a circle and
then the fingers (mine are about
10cm *4 inch* long - I fold the wire
in half. Attach the fingers to the
circle
Wrap the fingers tightly with the yarn - just like for the legs and arms -
do not finish, but leave an opening to attach the hand to the arm.
Connect both parts - bend the
end of the arm into the middle of
the hand and finish wrapping it
tightly with the yarn
Eyes
Start with black yarn:
R1: 6sc in MR
R2: inc x6 (12)
R3: (sc, inc) x6 (18)
Change color to white
R4-5: sc around (18) *2 rounds*
R6: (sc, dec) x6 (12)
Stuff
R7: dec x6 (6)
Cut the yarn and leave a long tail for
sewing. Sew the hole and pull the yarn
to the designated place
Mouth
chain 21.
Cut the yarn and leave a long tail for sewing
Sew the eyes between rows 2 and 4. Sew
the mouth as in the photo between rows
6 and 8
Note: If you want to make it any other
color, for example, white, repeat all the
steps using white yarn.
