    Assembly
    Please have the ears, arm, tail and the body (up to
    Round 23) completed before assembling. The
    instructions provided are suggestions—please feel
    free to adjust to your liking!

    1. Position the body so that the decreases made in


    Round 6 are along the sides (narrow portion) of
    A
    the body (see Picture B where the ears/arms are
    positioned along the side).
    2. Position ears so that the last single crochet (the second
    B
    to last overall stitch in the round) in Round 7 of each
    ear face each other (see Picture A). This is so that the
    ears will be slightly tilted when you sew them on.
    3. Sew ears along the top of the body (between Rounds
    2-5 of the body). Using Round 4 of the body as a
    reference, there should be roughly 7 stitches in
    between the ears. You can also use the decreases in
    Round 6 of the body to align the base of the ears.
    4. Using the eye template (see Felt Template below), cut
    out two white felt eyes. Sew them along the front of
    the body (between Rounds 7-9) using white
    embroidery thread (see Picture C). Make sure to center
    them so that they are roughly aligned with the base of
    the ears (see Picture B). Using Round 8 of the body as
    a reference, there should be roughly 6 stitches in
    between the eyes.
    5. Position the button eyes slightly lower and toward the
    center of the face, leaving a small outer rim of
    felt exposed. Sew the button eyes using black
    embroidery thread (see Picture C).
    C
    6. Use the black yarn to sew a horizontal line
    between the eyes at the bottom of Round 8
    (see Picture C). I sewed about ¼ inch but the
    length will vary depending on how big your
    Totoro is. I sewed this twice to make the nose slightly
    thicker.
    7. Position the arms so that the last three single crochets
    D
    in Round 3 of each arm make up the bottom of the
    arm (see Picture D).
    8. Sew arms along the sides of the body (between
    Rounds 10-12). Looking from the top of the Totoro,
    each arm should be roughly aligned to the
    corresponding ear (see Picture B).

    9. Using the tummy template (see Felt


    Template below), cut out one white felt
    tummy. Sew it along the front of the
    body (between Rounds 10-23, see
    Picture E).
    10. Use the blue yarn to sew three Λ’s on the
    tummy. Center the middle one so that
    the tip of the Λ is aligned with the nose.
    11. Sew the tail to the back (along Rounds
    17-20, see Picture F).
    12. Stuff the body with polyfil and crochet
    Rounds 24-25 before sewing the body
    close (see Picture G).
