Design and assembly
Make a muzzle. First, make tightenings, focusing on the photo. For this mark with pins the location of the peephole (in the photo stitch 1 and 2), which are located between 12 and 13 side by side, the distance between the stitch is 8sc. Visually mark stitch 3 and 4 which are located on a distance of 1sc from stitch 1 and 2, respectively.
Insert a long needle and thread into the base of the head and bring it out into stitch 1. Then insert the needle into stitch 3 and bring to the base of the head. For strength can be repeated tightening one more time.
Do the same for the second eyes, but in this case from the base head, bring the needle out at stitch 2. Then insert the needle at stitch 4 and bring it back to the base. Pull the ends and tie a knot.
Sew on eyes in places of tightening – beads. Make white thread stitches around the peephole to look became more “alive”. Above embroider with black thread eyebrows, pink – cheeks (below eye level, between 14 and 15 nearby).
Pin the head to head.
Sew firmly in a circle, and when there will be a small hole add more filler between head and neck, then sew up to end.
Between 6 and 7 next to the torso mark the places where legs are located. Sew them on with using a thread fastener. In use the same as a thread yarn with which the body was crocheted.
Skirt
Attach a white thread and crochet for the front half loops of the 12th row. Crochet in a circle, each row starting with lifting loops and ending with sl-st.
Rnd 1: 3ch, inc from dc in each loop (84 dc)
Rnd 2-3: 3ch, 84 dc (84 dc)
Rnd 4: 1ch, 84sc (84sc)
Fasten the thread, cut off, hide the tip of the thread.
Between 20 and 21 side by side sew the handles symmetrically.
Sew on front for decoration. Decorative buttons.

Rnd 2: 6 inc (12sc)
Crochet the third and all subsequent rows behind the back wall of the loop.
Rnd 3: (1sc, inc)*6 (18sc)
Rnd 4: 1sc, inc, (2sc, inc)*5, 1 sc (24sc)
Rnd 5: (3sc, inc)*6 (30sc)
Rnd 6: 2sc, inc, (4sc, inc)*5, 2sc (36sc)
Rnd 7: (5sc, inc)*6 (42sc)
Rnd 8-9: 42sc (2 rows)
Do not cut the thread, but continue crocheting.
Fold the two parts of the shell wrong side inward and connect, crocheting 42 sc. When there is a small hole left, put it inside filler, do not stuff too tightly. Continue crocheting and close hole to the end, do not cut the thread.
Dial a chain of 20 ch, count 10 sc on the shell and in the 11th sc attach the chain with a connecting post. Fasten the thread and cut off. From the first stitch (where they began to crochet a chain from ch) count 8sc and attach a new thread to this loop. Tie and attach the second strap in the same way.
Try on the shell on the back, it should hold well (if the shell dangles or, conversely, is difficult to put on, change the number of ch in straps).
Hide all the ends of the threads inside.
