Notes and Tips:
Helpful to read these before starting and maybe even again when it's time to put your softie
together
~Do
not join pieces that are crocheted in the round unless otherwise indicated
~A stitch marker will come in handy when repeating rounds or another helpful way to keep track of your
rounds is to, start all pieces with a long tail, pull the tail through the beginning stitch of each round.
~Use a tiny piece of felt under eyes to help them stand out. Cut two small circles (tracing around a button, just
slightly bigger than your eyes will help make a nice circle). Cut a small slit in the center of the circle, insert eye
stem and attach to head.
Remember not to close the bottom of the head until you have secured safety eye
fasteners.
~Some pieces, like ears and feet are small, so it’s a good idea to weave in your beginning yarn tail after a few
rounds.
~It is helpful to separate yarn into two plies for sewing small parts and needle sculpting. To stitch mouth;
thread needle and insert under head (where stitches won't be seen). Bring needle up through bottom of head
right under center of nose, move yarn down about 3-5 stitches, insert needle and bring back down through to
bottom of head. Re-insert needle and bring back up at the bottom for the mouth (be careful not to catch that
last stitch). Move yarn over at a slight angle to the right and insert needle about 3-5 stitches downs from center.

Insert needle and bring yarn back down through bottom of head, pull slightly to help shape muzzle and hold
yarn in place. Repeat for the left side of mouth.
~Working on face: Crochet head, nose and eyelids first. Stuff head (but do not close). Sew nose so that the
bottom center is just over center starting hole. Be sure to shape nose as you sew, using tiny whip stitches. Eyes:
Cut two tiny circles from felt, just slightly bigger then eyes, (tracing around a small button will give you a nice
circle template). Cut a small slit in center of felt, insert eye stem in slit. Next decide where you want your tiger’s
eyes (sample tiger’s 4 rounds up from nose with 6 single crochet stitches between them). Once you have
decided where your eyes look best, remove stuffing and attach safety backing. After eyes are secure, re-stuff
head, thread tapestry needle with long ending yarn and weave through remaining stitches, pull tight to gather
and close. Refer to picture to sew on additional face stripes. Do not split yarn for face stripes, sample tiger’s
stripes are back stitches two times over each stripe.
~Needle sculpting will help eyes stand out. After sewing on eyelids (use tiny whip stitches along top and sides. Leave
bottom of lid un-sewn. Eyelid should be placed at a slight angle, just over the top of the eye), thread tapestry needle with
two plies of charcoal grey yarn. Insert needle under the head where stitches won't be seen. Secure yarn and bring needle
up in a stitch as close to the inside corner of the right eye as you can (just under eyelid), move needle across eye to outside
edge at a slight angle (again just under eyelid), insert needle and go back down under head, tug gently to slightly indent
your eye and hold stitch in place, re-insert the needle and repeat for the other eye. Secure yarn under head when you are
finished. If you are still not sure how needle sculpting works, be sure to visit my blog for tutorials and additional photos.
~Sew head to top center of body using tiny whip stitches, going around head and through body. You may need to go
around several times to make sure the head is securely attached.
~Attaching Legs and Arms: To attach legs; position near bottom center of body, making sure bottom of leg is even with
bottom of body and that bear would be able to sit on legs and bottom. Thread tapestry needle, holding leg in place, insert
needle about 1 inch down from the top center of the leg. Push needle all the way through to the other side, leaving a long
tail on beginning side. Remove leg, insert needle back into body, bringing needle out the same stitch you started with. Tie
a secure tight knot (will be hidden under leg). Pick up first leg, insert needle under 3 or 4 stitches on inside of leg (about 1
inch down from top in center). Insert needle back into body (near beginning stitch) coming out through other side (near
first stitch), pick up other leg, insert needle under 3 or 4 stitches on inside of leg again, insert needle back into body
coming out under other leg, tug slightly to secure, repeat sewing under leg stitches and go back and forth through body 3
or 4 more times, end on same side as you started, tying another small tight knot, hiding under leg. Attach arms the same
way,
note: I think it’s helpful to sew on head first so that you can see where “shoulders” should be.
